deadline.com10 years on from her explosive breakthrough in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street, Margot Robbie has had the moment of her career with Barbie, a project she shepherded to the screen as a producer long before she claimed the lead role.
After more than a billion dollars at the box office, Barbie has entered the zeitgeist, and Robbie is ready to take a victorious breath, finds Joe Utichi.
Success takes many forms, but few movie stars can ever claim to find themselves where Margot Robbie has set up camp at the start of 2024.
In the wake of the enormous triumph of Barbie, she has achieved the kind of household recognition that has proved elusive for so many actors of her generation.

Russia: Supreme Court bans 'LGBT movement' for 'extremism'
Russia's Supreme Court on Thursday banned the "international LGBT movement" for extremism in the midst of the country's conservative turn, paving the way for legal action against any group defending LGBT+ rights in Russia.Judge Oleg Nefedov ordered that "the international LGBT movement and its subsidiaries be recognised as extremist and their activities banned from the territory of the Russian Federation", according to AFP correspondents on the ground.Mr Nefedov said that the ban would come into force "immediately".The hearing took place without defence counsel, as no organisation bearing the name "international LGBT movement" exists in Russia, and behind closed doors as the case was classified as "secret".In mid-November, the Russian Ministry of Justice called for the "international LGBT movement" to be described as an "extremist organisation" and banned, without clearly saying which organisation it was targeting.Any public activity associated with what Russia considers to be "non-traditional" sexual preferences could now be deemed "extremism", a crime punishable by heavy prison sentences.Until now, LGBT+ people risked heavy fines if they engaged in what the authorities called "propaganda", but not imprisonment.In recent years, Russian propagandists and politicians have increasingly referred to homosexuals as "paedophiles" and claimed they are part of an insidious attempt to "westernise" Russian society.The situation is particularly dire in the Caucasus republic of Chechnya, where gay men in particular face imprisonment, torture and murder at the hands of police.
