Biography Cornish was born in Lochinvar, New South Wales, Australia, as the second of five children. Her career began at the age of thirteen, when she began taking jobs as a model after reaching the finals of a Dolly Magazine competition. By the time she was sixteen, Cornish was juggling television acting roles with studying for her HSC, with the intention of pursuing a career as a veterinarian. In 1999, Cornish was awarded the Australian Film Institute Young Actor's Award for her role in the ABC's television show Wildside and was soon offered her first role in a feature film, The Monkey's Mask. At seventeen, Cornish traveled through the United States and Western Europe for six months, before returning to a blossoming acting career. She received the 2004 Australian Film Institute Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role, Best Actress at the FCCA and IF Awards and Best Breakthrough Performance at the 2005 Miami Film Festival for her role in 2004's Somersault, the film which raised her to prominence. Cornish received widespread critical acclaim for her role in 2006's Candy and starred in A Good Year, The Golden Age and Kimberly Peirce's latest movie, Stop-Loss.
