Hitting Hollywood
-Just five days after her
Neighbours contract expired, Margot headed to L.A., where she would find herself a part on the short-lived series
Pan Am.
-Despite starring Christina Ricci, the 1960s-set show about flighty flight attendants was cancelled after just one season, but that didn't derail Margot.
-Looking on the positive side of things, the show's failure allowed her to audition for—and ultimately snag—roles in the films
About Time and, of course,
The Wolf of Wall Street.
-At first, however, portraying a spoiled, sexy, gold-digging trophy wife wasn't quite up the actress' alley, but for the chance to work with Scorsese, she put her name in the running. Though, she
admits,
"Honestly, I never expected that this would go any further than an audition tape."
