>>> HOW DO I GET A SHOT HERE
WHEN I AM UP AT 5:00 IN THE
MORNING TO WORK.
>> THIS IS HOW IT IS DONE.
SOME OF THESE GIRLS OUT PAY
THEIR DUES.
THAT WAS MARGOT ROBBIE PLAYING
TONYA HARDING IN THE 2007 FILM
"I TANYA."
A YEAR AGO ROBBIE WAS WRACKING
UP NOMINATIONS INCLUDING ONE AT
THE GLOBES AND ANOTHER AT THE
ACADEMY AWARDS FOR HER
PERFORMANCE.
THE 28 YEARS OLD IS WINNING FOR
HER PERFORMANCE AND
TRANSFORMATION INTO QUEEN
ELIZABETH THE 1st.
THE GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS MARK THE
HOLLYWO
HOLLYWOOD UNITED IN BLACK.
THROUGH HER FILMS AND HER
PRODUCTION COMPANY, ROBBIE HAS
BEEN PLAYING A LEADING ROLE
THERE, TOO.
MARGOT AND I GOT TOGETHER AT THE
SAME OAK ROOM HERE IN NEW YORK
FOR A SUNDAY SIT-DOWN.
THE POLICE REALLY EMPIED OUT BY
THE TIME WE GOT THERE.
>> WE ARE AT AN EMPTY BAR.
>> A VERY EERIE FEELING.
>> LET'S HOPE THIS IS NOT A
CURSE OF THE INTERVIEW.
I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE.
>> I KNOW, RIGHT?
DURING HER FIVE SHORT YEARS ON
THE BIG SCREEN.
MARGOT ROBBIE HAS A RESUME OF
COVENANT ROLES FROM HER BREAK
OUT AS THE WIFE OF JORDAN BELL
BELFOUR.
>> ARE YOU MARRIED?
>> MARRIED PEOPLE CAN'T HAVE
FRIENDS.
>> WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE
FRIENDS.
>> TO SUICIDE PSYCHOTIC VILLAIN
AND TANYA HARDING ON THE OSCAR
NOMINATED "ITANYA" AND NOW
PLAYING ELIZABETH THE 1st.
>> THE QUEEN OF SCOTTS.
>> YOU ARE INFERIOR.
>> WHEN YOU FIRST COME OUT, YOU
ARE LIKE WOW, THAT'S MARGOT
ROBBIE.
>> DOES SHE LOOK GORGEOUS?
>> WOULD SOMEBODY CAME TO YOU OF
THE IDEA OF THIS ICONIC ROLE
THAT'S BEEN PLAYED BY MANY OF
YOUR ACTING HEROES THROUGH THE
YEARS, WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION?
>> NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
I WAS LIKE I REALLY WANT TO DO
IT BUT I CAN'T BE QUEEN
ELIZABETH THE 1st, I WAS TRYING
TO REDO SOMETHING THAT OTHER
PEOPLE HAVE DONE.
I AM NOT CLASSICALLY TRAINED OR
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING OF THE
TIME PERIOD.
I KNEW VERY LITTLE ABOUT THAT.
I REALLY DON'T DESERVE IT TO BE
HONEST.
>> WHAT CHANGED YOUR MIND?
>> JOSIE.
>> I DON'T WANT SOMEONE TO PLAY
QUEEN, I WANT SOMEONE TO PLAY A
WOMAN.
OKAY, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT, I
CAN DELIVER THAT.
>> WHAT HAVE YOU PRODUCED IN ALL
YOUR TROUBLES?
>> DISCOURSE, DEATH?
AFTER SIGNING ON, ROBBIE STUDIED
UP.
>> SHE WAS THE LONGEST REIGNING
MONARCH.
>> SHE REBRANDED HERSELF AS THE
VIRG
VIRGIN QUEEN.
IT WAS THE GOLDEN AGE.
>> YOU CAN TEACH A COLLEGE
CLASS.
>> BEFORE I AM LIKE NO MAKEUP
AND STUFF.
>> MARY QUEEN OF SCOTT ALREADY
IS EARNING PRAISE OF WOMEN IN
POWER.
LAST JANUARY IN THE WAKE OF THE
HARVEY WEINSTEIN SCANDAL AND THE
RISE OF THE ME TOO MOVEMENT,
ROBBIE JOINED MORE THAN 300
OTHER WOMEN IN ENTERTAINMENT IN
SIGNING AN OPEN LETTER
ANNOUNCING THE TIME'S UP
INITIATIVE.
>> IT IS A MILESTONE THIS YEAR
OF A YEAR LATER.
DO YOU THINK HOLLYWOOD HAS SAT
UP AND TAKEN NOTICE AND HAVE
THINGS CHANGED TO YOUR EYES IN
THE LAST YEAR OR SO?
>> THEY HAVE.
THEY HAVE.
I HAVE JUST WRAPPED A FILM WITH
MOST HEAD DEPARTMENTS WERE
FEMALE ROLES AND FEMALE-LED.
I AM IN PREP FOR A FILM WITH A
SECOND TIME FEMALE DIRECTOR WITH
A BIG BUDGET BEHIND IT.
GETTING PEOPLE TO PUT MONEY
BEHIND THAT WAS TWO DIFFERENT
CONVERSATIONS.
YES, IT WOULD BE EASY TO SAY
YES, WOULD THAT BE NICE OR I
WILL SIGN OFF IN THAT POSITION?
>> ROBBIE IS DOING JUST THAT,
FOCUSING THROUGH FEMALE FILMS.
THE PRODUCTION COMPANY SHE
COFOUNDED IN 2015 WITH THREE
FRIENDS INCLUDING HER NOW
HUSBAND.
LUCKY CHAT HAS SEVERAL MOVIES IN
THE WORK LIKE THE HARLEY QUINN
SPIN-OFF "BIRDS OF PREY."
>> WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?
>> TO PUT WOMEN IN FILMS.
WE DO WORK WITH INCREDIBLE MEN
BUT YOU HAVE TO BALANCE IT AND
HAVE ALL OPPORTUNITIES ON THE
TABLE IN AN EQUAL WAY.
>> WAS THAT A DIFFERENT KIND OF
CHALLENGE FOR YOU TO NOT ONLY
STAR A MOVIE LIKE THAT BUT HAVE
YOUR PRODUCTION COMPANY BEHIND
IT AND YOUR NAME ON THE DOOR AS
WELL.
>> YES.
IT IS A BIGGER RESPONSIBILITY
AND YOU CAN'T BLAME ANYONE ELSE.
YOU ARE APART OF THE
CONVERSATION, NOT SAD, JUST
ACTING AND JUST PRODUCING.
IT IS AN ENORMOUS RELIEF TO SIT
BACK AND SAY OVERTIME, IT IS NOT
MY TIME.
SOMEONE ELSE SORTED OUT.
ROBBIE GOT HER START IN SCHOOL
PLAYS AND LATER LANDED ON THE
POPULAR SOAP OPERA "NEIGHBORS."
>> YOU CAN BE REALLY SWEET
SOMETIMES.
>> DID YOU HAVE GROWING UP
SERVER PERFORMER MENTALITY?
I KNOW YOU WERE IN MAGIC?
>> NOT AN ARTIST CAN DO IT.
DEFINITELY I HAD A DRAMATIC
FLARE GROWING UP.
>> AT WHAT POINT DID YOU REALIZE
OH, THIS COULD BE A CAREER, WAS
IT "NEIGHBORS."
>> YES, DO YOU HAVE OTHER JOBS
ON THE SIDE OR SOMETHING?
NO.
YOU JUST DO ACTING FOR A LIVING?
>> YEAH.
YOU PUT YOUR KIDS THROUGH SCHOOL
AND YOU BUY A HOUSE JUST ON
ACTING?
>> YES.
>> RAD, I AM GOING TO DO THAT.
DID YOU HAVE OTHER JOBS IN THOSE
EARLY DAYS?
>> YES.
I WAITED TABLES AND WAITED
BEHIND BARS, FOOD INDUSTRY AND
BABYSITTING AND PAST CLEANING.
>> YOU HAVE HAD IT ALL.
>> SERIOUSLY.
>> AND TODAY ROBBIE CAN ADD
MOVIE STAR AND PRODUCER TO THE
LIST.
A REMARKABLE RISE TO STARDOM FOR
AN ACTRESS DEVOTING HER WORK TO
MAKE SURE OTHER WOMEN RISE, TOO.
>> DO YOU STOP AND GO WHOA, THIS
IS TAKING UP QUICK.
>> YES, ALL THE TIME.
QUITE OFTEN I AM LIKE THIS IS
WILD AND EVERY YEAR I AM LIKE
NOTHING CAN GET BETTER THAN THIS
AND ANOTHER YEAR GOES BY AND
THAT WAS THE BEST YEAR, THAT WAS
ALSO.
>> "MARY QUEEN OF SCOTT" IS IN
THEATERS AGAIN.
