At just 16 years old Melanie Lynskey dazzled moviegoers with her stunning debut in Peter Jackson's beloved psychological crime drama, Heavenly Creatures (1994). The TIME's Richard Corliss praised her bold portrayal of Pauline Parker, a teenager who lost her closest friends Kate Winslet and spiraled out of control. The award also awarded her the Best Actress trophy for New Zealand. After a gap of three years, Lynskey returned to the silver screen following a successful re-location to Los Angeles and studying at university. The actress was cast as Drew Barrymore's step-sister in Andy Tennant’s feminist take on the fairy tale, reworking Ever After: A Cinderella Story (1998). Parts in Detroit Rock City (1999)"But I'm a cheerleader" (1999), Coyote Ugly (2000), Snakeskin (2001), Abandon (2002), Sweet Home Alabama (2002), Shattered Glass (2003), and Clint Eastwood's Oscar-nominated war epic Flags of Our Fathers (2006) followed.
