Elizabeth Debicki was born in France but raised in Australia, where she took quickly to dance and ballet. As she got older, her interest turned towards acting, which led her to the University of Melbourne. Emerging with a degree in 2010, Debicki made her film debut in the Australian comedy "A Few Best Men" (2011). Fortuitously, Baz Luhrmann stumbled upon Debicki and casted her in the Leonardo DiCaprio-starring adaptation of "The Great Gatsby" (2013). Before following up her American acting debut, she took to the stage and performed alongside Cate Blanchett and Isabelle Huppert in "The Maids" from 2013 to 2014 in both Australia and New York. Returning to the screen, Debicki took on a few smaller roles in bigger movies, including "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." (2015), "Everest" (2015), and "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" (2017). She also was in the first season of the Tom Hiddleston-starring miniseries "The Night Manager" (BBC One/AMC 2016- ). 2018 was another busy year for Debicki, as she appeared in a variety of films, including the sci-fi thriller "The Cloverfield Paradox" (2018), animated film "Peter Rabbit" (2018), and most notably, the Steve McQueen and Gillian Flynn heist drama "Widows" (2018), where she drew critical acclaim and awards buzz. In 2019, she starred in the HBO horror series "Lovecraft Country" (HBO 2019- ).
