She grew up on a 70-hectare (170-acre) farm before moving to Newcastle.[3] As a teenager, Cornish was fascinated by independent and foreign films.[4]

Acting career

Cornish began modelling at age 13 after reaching the finals of a Dolly Magazine competition.[5] In 1999, Cornish was awarded the Australian Film Institute Young Actor's Award for her role in the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's television show Wildside and was offered her first role in a feature film, The Monkey's Mask.

From 2001 - 2003 Abbie played Penne in "Life Support", a satirical, sometimes dark look at Australian life as seen through the omnipresent lens of the Television Lifestyle Show. The series' lifestyle experts include Sigourney, a home economics guru who always wears a fresh frock and is a firm believer in the doctrine of "pleasing your man"; Todd, a DIY whiz; Rudi, a sleek Sydney Eastern Suburbs General Practitioner who believes he occupies a position just slightly below God; and urban alternative lifestyle guru / eco warrior Penne.

In 2004, Cornish appeared in the award-winning short film Everything Goes with Hugo Weaving. She received the Australian Film Institute Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role, Best Actress at the FCCA and IF Awards and Best Breakthrough Performance at the 2005 Miami International Film Festival for her role in Somersault.

She garnered widespread acclaim for her starring performance as Fanny Brawne in Jane Campion's 2009 film about the Romantic poet John Keats, Bright Star. In April 2010, Cornish was cast in Limitless, the film adaptation of the novel The Dark Fields,[6] directed by Neil Burger and also starring Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro.[7][8]

Cornish narrated Zack Snyder's film Sucker Punch, in which she played one of the protagonists.[9]

Cornish played the role of Wally in Madonna's film W.E., about Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson.[4] In 2012, she replaced Emily Blunt in the independent film The Girl, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, and starred alongside Woody Harrelson and Colin Farrell in the crime comedy Seven Psychopaths. Cornish co-starred in the 2014 RoboCop reboot, as Clara Murphy, the wife of protagonist Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman).

In 2015, she played Agent Katherine Cowles in Solace, a mystery thriller film directed by Afonso Poyart with central performances by Anthony Hopkins, Colin Farrell, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.[10][11]

In 2016, she filmed The Girl Who Invented Kissing with Luke Wilson.[12][13]

In 2017, she played Agent Sarah Wilson in the science fiction disaster film Geostorm, directed, co-written, and co-produced by Dean Devlin, also starring Gerard Butler, Jim Sturgess, Ed Harris, and Andy García.

In 2018, she starred in Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan as Cathy Mueller, alongside John Krasinski.[14]
