Meet Abbey Lee, who plays Anna in Netflix’s Black Rabbit alongside Jude Law and Jason Bateman

The story follows Jake Friedken, played by Law, who runs the hottest food joint in New York City. The eponymous Black Rabbit eatery is seemingly modelled after Ken Friedman’s controversial NYC restaurant, the Spotted Pig. When Jake’s estranged brother Vince walks back into his life, dragging the grime of the criminal underworld behind him, Black Rabbit is thrown into a whirlwind of chaos.

With the Golden Globes right around the corner, critics expect both Law and Bateman to be in the running for the best actor award. However, they’re not the only actors generating buzz. Abbey Lee, who plays Anna, Black Rabbit’s disgruntled bartender, is emerging as a rising star as well.

What’s her background?

According to her IMDB page, the Australian actress was born to psychologist Kerry Kershaw and former Australian rules football player Kim Kershaw. She called her childhood home “complicated” and “poor” in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, adding, “There was no music and art [in my home]; my family was more about how to put food on the table and survive.”

As a rebellious teen, the Mad Max: Fury Road actress was “politely asked to depart” from her high school before she could finish her final year, per Interview Magazine.
