Sometimes it’s hard to reconcile the public image of Abbie Cornish with her Aussie farm-girl origins.

Watching her, all regal and corsetted, as the queen’s handmaiden in Elizabeth: The Golden Age, or reading about her reported part in the break-up of Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon, it’s tempting to think of her as a femme fatale who might care more about which designer label she’ll be wearing on the red carpet than how we treat animals.

But the moment she begins talking in her unaffected Aussie twang about bonding with the livestock on her father’s farm, or the thrill she gets from helping school kids learn about animal-welfare issues, it’s clear that appearances can be deceptive.

As you may notice, Abbie Cornish Online has a brand new look. The previous design stayed up for almost 10 months so we wanted to go for something completely different this time. So Mycah paired Abbie’s T Style pictures with vivid pink tones and some feminine floral brushes. We are very pleased with this look and hope you like it too. All information has been updated so feel free to browse around.

Look for other areas of the site being redesigned and revised shortly.

Miss Abbie is featured in the March 2008 issue of the Australian edition of Harper’s Bazaar with Nicole Kidman on the front cover. There’s a huge editorial inside of her with beautiful photos and a nice article.

According to the article, Last Battle Dreamer has been delayed because of the strike (which is - thankfully - over now). Abbie’s next movie will be Bright Star, which will start filming in March.

I want to thank Lisa for taking the time to purchase and scan this magazine for us. Much appreciated!

As some of you noticed, the fanlisting had not been working properly for the past few weeks.
