About Samara Weaving
Australian actress and model. She began her career in her home country, playing Kirsten Mulroney on the drama series Out of the Blue (2008). She came to prominence with her portrayal of Indi Walker on the soap opera Home and Away (2009–2013), for which she received an Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) nomination for Best Female Performance.
Following her departure from Home and Away, Weaving pursued roles in the United States, starring in the first season of the series Ash vs Evil Dead (2015–2016) and becoming a series regular on SMILF (2017–2019). In 2017, she starred in the films Mayhem, The Babysitter, and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, with the latter winning the cast a Screen Actors Guild Award. She earned acclaim for headlining the critically and commercially successful feature Ready or Not (2019)—her first lead role in a theatrical American film—and was established as a scream queen.
Weaving has alternated frequently between film and television, starring in the miniseries Picnic at Hanging Rock (2018), Hollywood (2020), and Nine Perfect Strangers (2021), and having roles in the films Guns Akimbo (2019), Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020), The Babysitter: Killer Queen (2020), and Scream VI (2023), the latter two films both starring Jenna Ortega.
She is known for having a resemblance to fellow australian Margot Robbie.
As of February 2024, she has amassed 1.3 million followers on her Instagram platform.
