Emma Booth (born c. 1982) is an Australian model-turned-actress. Hailing from Perth in Western Australia, the former teen model and TV star has recently achieved international stardom with a main role in the film Introducing the Dwights opposite Brenda Blethyn[1]. Frequently referred to as the "next big thing" from Australia, after Clubland was screened at the Sundance Film Festival many talent agencies solicited her for roles in upcoming films.[2][3]
As a result, in 2008 she will appear in the horror film Town Creek to be directed by Joel Schumacher which just finished shooting. She will also be appearing in Hippie Hippie Shake with Cillian Murphy and Sienna Miller, an account of the Schoolkids OZ obscenity trials in Great Britain (currently in pre-production).
Currently, she is working on the film The Wrong Girl, an Australian true-life drama about a teen who had been raped by a notorious Sydney gang and her four-year struggle for justice, written by award-winning screenwriter Nicholas Hammond and directed by Michael Jenkins. [4]
