New Plymouth-raised Melanie Lynskey made her screen debut as Pauline Parker, in the Oscar-nominated Heavenly Creatures. Since then she has starred in Kiwi films Snakeskin and Show of Hands. She has also cultivated a career in Hollywood. After an early lead role in Foreign Correspondents, her stateside CV covers most genres, including drama Shattered Glass and a recurring role in hit TV comedy Two and a Half Men.
I always wanted to be an actress, but to be in Heavenly Creatures at the age of 15 literally changed my life.
– Melanie Lynskey, in an interview in the Sunday Star-Times
