MARGOT ROBBIE:THE STAR WHO REWROTE the RULES: Rise, Roles, and Fearless Ambition of Hollywood's Modern Powerhouse

Before Margot Robbie was Barbie, before she was Harley Quinn, before she was nominated for an Academy Award, she was a teenager working three jobs on Australia's Gold Coast, saving enough money to give herself exactly three years to make it in Hollywood or go home. This is not another highlight reel of red carpets and box-office numbers. It's the story of the calculated risks behind them: the improvised audition that won her The Wolf of Wall Street, the deliberate choice to leave a hit soap opera at the height of its success, the production company she built from a shared house in London before anyone had a reason to take it seriously, and the near-decade of failed attempts she inherited and finally solved with Barbie. It's also an honest account of what didn't work: the expensive flops, the typecasting fights, the years spent being seen for one thing while trying to be understood for many. Margot Robbie: The Star Who Rewrote the Rules traces the full arc actress to producer, performer to decision-maker and asks what it actually takes to stop waiting for a seat at the table and build the table instead.Start reading today, and discover how far one calculated risk can go.
