Alongside her equally glamorous co-stars, Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush, at tomorrow night’s premiere of Elizabeth: The Golden Age at the Cremorne Orpheum, it will be hard to imagine Abbie Cornish dressed down in her farm gear and gumboots.
Recently returned from a whirlwind press tour for the film, Cornish spent the first half of this week hanging out at her family’s farm at Lochinvar in the Hunter Valley with “the turkeys, ducks, geese, cows and horses … because it is spring and all the animals are having babies, it is just the best season”, a besotted Cornish told Stay in Touch.
Cornish is the ambassador for Animal Club, the kids’ arm of the animal rights organisation Voiceless, run by Brian and Ondine Sherman, from Paddington’s Sherman Galleries.
Cornish was the guest of honour at the organisation’s 2006 annual grants dinner, for schools and community groups working for animal welfare, and participates in school workshops with the organisation when in town.

Abbie Cornish smoulders as tinseltown’s hottest new talent. She tells our correspondent how it all came to pass
Take a look at this girl – sexy, isn’t she? Just as well, because you’re going to be seeing a lot more of her.

MTV has released the trailer for Stop-Loss. The movie looks very good and there was quite a few shots of Abbie playing Michelle (be sure to check out her cute Texan accent).

I was surprised and delighted to find Miss Cornish in the November 2007 issue of Elle. Abbie was photographed with actresses Giovanna Mezzogiorno and Alice Eve. She looks stunning! The article is brief, mainly an introduction which touches on her previous and upcoming films.
Why she’ll last: As she proved in the widely praised indies Somersault and Candy, Cornish has an emotional intensity that belies her youth and makes blond bombshell cutesiness seem like so much spray on glitter.

Academy Awards heavyweights such as George Clooney and Cate Blanchett were no match for another of Tyler Perry’s populist tales.
The Lionsgate release Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married?, debuted as the No. 1 weekend movie with $21.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. Perry’s flick came in well ahead of Clooney’s legal drama Michael Clayton, Blanchett’s historical pageant Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg’s crime saga We Own the Night, which all pulled in modest crowds.
