Abbie Cornish is featured in the seventh annual NY Times Great Performances Portfolio for 2010. The issue is a photographic celebration of the year’s best performances, and they have chosen actors who stunned and delighted us this past year. It was the February 21, 2010 issue.
Abbie who delighted critics with her performance in Bright Star is being honored with several young female ingenues like Carey Mulligan, Gabby Sidibe, Emily Blunt and more.
The March 2010 issue of Vanity Fair features Abbie Cornish alongside Kristen Stewart and Carey Mulligan on it’s cover. VF.com has released a sneak peek at the article and another striking image of the ladies from the shoot, plus an on set video and stills. Watch the video after the break.
The Cupid’s-bow lips, the downy-soft cheeks, the button nose: 27-year-old Abbie Cornish has those Ivory-soap-girl features we’re so familiar with, and yet hers is a face it’s hard to stop staring at—testament to the intelligence, vulnerability, and sensuality she brings to her characters. Her breakthrough for American audiences came with fellow Australian Heath Ledger, as a junkie in 2006’s Candy, free-falling from invincible heroin highs to soul-seizing anguish. Kimberly Peirce’s Stop-Loss saw her fleeing the law with Ryan Phillippe’s character. (Enter some real-life drama: Phillippe, then the husband of Reese Witherspoon, would soon become her boyfriend.) She may have been her loveliest in Jane Campion’s Bright Star, playing John Keats’s muse, the flirty and forthright Fanny Brawne.
Abbie Cornish, Kristen Stewart, Carey Mulligan, Amanda Seyfried, Rebecca Hall, Mia Wasikowska and Emma Stone pose for the cover of Vanity Fair: Hollywood Edition. Out on stands February 9th and subscribers will be February 20, 2010.

The Abbie reign of 2009 is beginning! Our beautiful Aussie is gracing the pages of Esquire magazine’s October issue. She’s featured as “The Woman We Love”. She looks incredible in this new shoot! Check out the shoot in the gallery and read the article after the cut.
First she steals your eyes, then she steals the movie. And not to be too graphic, she works her tail off.
