Mia Wasikowska made her screen debut at the age of 15 in the Australian crime drama Lawless. The sophisticated blonde with an unconventional appearance managed to appear in more than a dozen projects when Tim Burton noticed her.
The iconic director offered the actress the lead role in the large-scale fairy tale Alice in Wonderland. After the film was released in 2010, the actress woke up as a star.
In those years, it seemed that all the doors of Hollywood were open to the beauty. The actress starred in Cary Fukunaga's drama Jane Eyre, Guillermo del Toro's Crimson Peak, Jim Jarmusch's Only Lovers Left Alive and other popular films. But after the failed sequel Alice Through the Looking Glass in 2016, Wasikowska's career sharply declined.
The actress moved from the USA to her native Australia and focused on independent projects. Two years ago, Mia Wasikowska stunned fans with an unexpected announcement: she was leaving the film industry. The star complained about being tired of the nomadic life in acting trailers and endless social events.
It is unknown whether 35-year-old Wasikowska will return to work: the last film with her participation, Club Zero, was released in 2023.
