With our announcement of Daybreakers, we cannot miss the chance to celebrate actress Claudia Karvan who also stars in our releases of Dating the Enemy, The Big Steal, and Molly.

Winner of several AFI and Logie awards in television, Claudia cut her teeth as a child actor and lead in the film Molly before starring in The Big Steal with Ben Mendelsohn, another of our favourite Australian leads.

She later teamed up with Memento star Guy Pearce for the body swap romcom Dating the Enemy and then rounded out her run in the 2000s alongside fellow Aussies Sam Neill, Michael Dorman, and others in Daybreakers.

In her many projects between and since, Claudia has shown a magnetic onscreen presence, seamlessly transitioning from childhood roles to adult stardom, and proving herself a mainstay of our local screens for over 40 years and counting!
