She has been one of our most successful acting exports and last night Rachel Griffiths threw her weight behind the new Royal Randwick grandstand.
The Academy Award- nominated actress was among a legion of A-listers, including international model Nicole Trunfio, who rolled out to open the Australian Turf Club's $150 million jewel with a ritzy gala dinner and horse show.
Tipped to cost $500,000, the extravagant party celebrated the official
opening of the five-level venue, designed by Fitzpatrick + Partners.
Griffiths' appearance at the social occasion of the season comes amid
rumours that she may be playing former prime minister Julia Gillard in a
biopic.
Going by the actress's coy reaction to Confidential's questions, a
script may already be in the works.
"No comment," she said, raising her eyebrow before adding:
"I'd find it interesting to play someone that is so liked by those close
to her but such a controversial figure as you get further away and to try and
bridge those things I would find fascinating."
Pulling off Gillard's trademark twang may require some work: "The
accent would be a challenge."
Based in Melbourne, Griffiths has been in town this week to promote her
first horror film, Patrick, a remake of the 1978 classic. It is in cinemas on
October 17
