ATLANTA (CBS46/Gray News) – A university in Georgia fired a professor after police said the man was arrested for the murder of a student early Saturday morning.
The Carrollton Police Department said 47-year-old Richard Sigman is charged with murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
The charges come after police say 18-year-old Anna Jones showed up to a hospital with a gunshot wound on July 30 just before 12:30 am
Investigators said preliminary information indicates that the former professor and another man got into a verbal argument at a restaurant, WGCL reported.
The man reportedly told police Sigman had threatened to shoot him. When security approached Sigman, they saw he had a weapon and told him to leave.
The investigation indicates Sigman then walked into the parking lot and began shooting into a parked vehicle, hitting Jones, who was inside.
The University of West Georgia President Brendan Kelly released the following statement saying in part:
“On behalf of the university, we wish to convey our deepest condolences to Anna’s family and many friends. We know this news is difficult to process and affects many members of our university community. We ask that you keep Anna’s family, friends, and all who have been touched by this tragedy in your thoughts during this tremendously difficult time.”
According to police, friends of Jones immediately drove her to the hospital where she later died.
Jones had recently graduated from Mount Zion High School, the school’s Facebook page says, and had planned to go to the University of West Georgia.
Ethan Lepard, a friend of Jones, said she was a sweet, caring girl and that he “will miss her forever.”
“There are so many good qualities, no one could list them all,” he said. “She was always so positive, and she was an amazing friend to everyone.”
The university is offering counseling and support services to all students, faculty and staff. Resources can be found at westga.edu/wellness.
Students can also call the UWG Counseling Center 24/7 by dialing 678-839-6428 and selecting option 2.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact the Carrollton Police Department at 770-834-4451.

An airline staffer has been banned from flying for two years after her daughter complained about a lack of customer service when trying to board a flight.
The daughter, who wishes not to be named, told Business Insider she had bought a ticket using Air Canada flying privileges given to her by her mother.
However, after allegedly experiencing poor customer service by gate staff, she filed a complaint with the airline, having also copied in media outlets.
The daughter’s act led to the airline not only revoking her standby flying privileges, but that too of her 62-year-old administrator mother for two years.
Standby tickets allow airline employees to fly anywhere for a fraction of the normal cost, something that had attracted the woman’s mother to the job.
According to Insider, an email sent to the employee suggested her daughter had misrepresented herself as a revenue-generating customer.
“I had a really like sickening feeling when my mother told me what they did to her,” the woman told the publication.
“It’s one thing for me to be reprimanded, but it’s totally different for my actions impacting my mum.”
The woman’s mother, who has fears over losing her job, approached the union who reportedly advised her nothing could be done and that apologizing could help in reducing the penalty.
An Air Canada spokesperson told the outlet that employee travel is a “special privilege”.
“[It is] a unique and generous perk of working for an airline that comes with responsibilities which the overwhelming majority of employees and families understand and value,” the spokesperson said.
“We take feedback about our services seriously. In fact, we undertook an investigation into the complaint lodged, and subsequently found facts which did not align with what was presented.”
In the world of business notebooks, portability is king – with more people either working remotely or splitting their time between the home and office, consumers want a computer that they can carry around without straining a back muscle, yet still has the power they need for whatever the job can throw at them.
Enter the MSI Prestige 14 Evo: a svelte, lightweight business notebook with 12th-gen Intel processor. Coming in at a hair under 1.3 kilos, it’s certainly not chore to lift – but can it carry its own weight in terms of performance?
Design and Features
Straight away, you can tell that this notebook means business. It’s super stylish, coming in your choice of Carbon Gray or Bluestone, with a lovely matte feel and the MSI logo embossed on the lid; the grille for cooling is tucked away on the bottom.
The keyboard has backlit white illumination with three brightness settings (not counting “off”), and is just nice to type on in general – the keys are satisfyingly clicky and feel good under the fingers, if that sort of thing concerns you. I typed this whole review on it, in fact, and never hated doing it. Good news for the ergonomically-conscious as well – when open, the keyboard sits at a five-degree angle, making it comfortable for typing and reducing strain on your wrists, as well as allowing for better airflow underneath.
Below the keyboard is a touchpad with built-in fingerprint reader in the upper left-hand corner. The touchpad is responsive, and nice and wide as well, so you’ll always be assured of having enough room for all your navigational needs (especially considering that the display is not a touchscreen); speaking of the fingerprint reader, Windows Hello is also enabled if you prefer facial recognition.
The Prestige 14 Evo is definitely a notebook for those on the go: it’s only 15.9mm thick and weighs just 1.29kg, meaning it ranks up there with the very thinnest and lightest laptops I’ve ever come across. That said, this does come with a few sacrifices in terms of ports: while there are two Thunderbolt ports, either of which can be used for charging, there’s no HDMI out; it also has one USB-A port, a microSD reader, and a 3.5mm combo jack, and that’s about it. Be prepared to hook up a hub or an adapter if you want to plug in more than a couple of things at a time. Wireless connectivity is good, though – the 14 Evo comes with Killer ax Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth v5.2 built-in.
One more feature worth mentioning, as this is after all a business notebook: the built-in webcam is another 720p affair. I’m not sure what it actually looks like in use, since the one on our review unit didn’t appear to be working (which I’m willing to chalk up to the specific unit rather than the product in general), but we really should be going beyond 720p in this day and age where remote and hybrid work is so prevalent.
Display and Sound
The Prestige 14 Evo comes equipped with a low-power 14-inch 1080p IPS display, and while it was crisp and sharp, I’ll admit I’ve seen smoother: scrolling seemed a little choppy despite the 60Hz refresh rate. There also seemed to be a slight warm cast, at least to my eyes, and colors just didn’t seem to pop like they do on other screens – definitely on the dim side, even at maximum brightness. It’s not the worst laptop display I’ve used, but I’ve certainly used better.
In a similar vein: you’re probably not buying a business notebook for the audio, and that’s good, because the audio is definitely not what you’d want to buy this notebook for. The two bottom-firing 2W speakers are very tinny, and just unpleasant to listen to – I definitely wouldn’t want to get through a whole movie, podcast, or TV show on these. Thankfully the trusty 3.5mm headphone jack, whose continued absence is lamented on mobile phones, is still alive and well on notebooks (at least for now).
Performance
For such a light notebook, the 14 Evo punches solidly above its weight class in terms of silicon, boasting a 12th-generation Intel Core i7 processor with Iris Xe graphics. It comes with up to 32GB RAM; our review unit had 16GB, which seemed more than enough for what it is. You probably won’t be doing intensive 3D modeling, but it will handle Zoom meetings, Photoshop, and other day-to-day activities just fine.
Power is supplied by a three-cell, 53.8-watt-hour battery. While you won’t be running for the charger in a hurry, I will note that over about four hours of relatively light activity – including some time left to sit unattended – the notebook did chew through a little under 30% of the total battery capacity , so you may want to keep an eye on the power if you’re looking to do more intensive work.
Another plus: heat seems to be largely a non-factor. I was able to get through a full afternoon, including video streaming, without the temperature rising appreciably or even hearing the fan kick in once; the airflow from that ergonomic hinge appears to do wonders.
verdict
There’s a lot of good in the MSI Prestige 14 Evo A12M – the low weight, the processing power, the gorgeous design – but its flaws do let it down. With a better display, better audio, better webcam, and maybe some improvement to the battery, this could be a truly great business notebook. As it stands, it’s certainly one worth considering, and you could do a lot worse at the price point if you can look past these little niggles – but it wouldn’t be my first choice.
pros
Ultra-lightweight, thin, and easy to carry
Beautiful, stylish and business-oriented design
Great keyboard with ergonomic hinge
Stays cool despite extended use

Formula One champion Max Verstappen overcame a spin and his worst starting spot of the season to win the Hungarian Grand Prix. His eighth win of the season pushed Verstappen’s lead to 80 points over Charles Leclerc as F1 heads into its midseason break.
Even though his advantage keeps increasing, Verstappen is not thinking ahead.
“It’s of course a great lead,” he said. “But if you want to fight for championships, you can’t afford many mistakes.”

Mercedes placed both its cars on the podium for the second straight race; seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton carved his way from seventh to a second-place finish, teammate and pole-sitter George Russell was third.
Carlos Sainz Jr. finished fourth in another disastrous day for Ferrari. Leclerc was sixth, one spot behind Sergio Perez of Red Bull.
Verstappen’s eighth win of the season was the 28th of the Dutchman’s career.
“Who would have thought when we woke up today we’d get this result? Amazing,” Verstappen told his team, letting out a laugh. “I was battling a lot of guys and it was a lot of fun out there. That was a crazy race but (we) stayed calm and we won.”
Charles Leclerc suffered more troubles during the Hungarian Grand Prix. (Getty)
He qualified a season-worst 10th because of a loss of power on Saturday, then in Sunday’s race Verstappen did a 360-degree spin.
“Unbelievable Max, that is right up there with your best,” Red Bull team principal Christian Horner replied. “Fantastic.”
Russell, who started from the pole for the first time in his career, led 30 laps until Leclerc passed him on the outside as dark clouds rolled over the Hungaroring circuit and a light rain began to fall.
With Leclerc leading, Verstappen undercut for quicker tyres. Ferrari made a mistake in choosing the more durable hard tires for Leclerc.
“These tires are (expletive),” Leclerc said.
He later explained that he thought it was the wrong call.
“I made it clear that I wanted to keep (the medium tire) as long as possible, but we pitted very early for the hard, which we need to understand why. I think stopping for the hard was the turning point,” Leclerc said .
“Before thinking about the championship, to be honest, as a team we need to understand what we need to do to get better. Because otherwise it’s going to be really difficult.
“Honestly, the pace on my side, I was pretty happy, the only thing is that everybody will remember the last part of the race where it was a disaster for me, especially the hard – that’s why I lost the race basically.”
Moments later, Verstappen lost grip and spun on track, allowing Sainz to take the lead from Hamilton. Leclerc passed Verstappen, only to lose position soon after because Verstappen had faster tyres.
“It was very tricky conditions out there but we had a really good strategy,” Verstappen said. “We were really reactive, always pitting at the right time. Even with the 360 we still won.”
Recalling the spin, Verstappen said: “I went on throttle and completely lost the rear, it caught me out.”

Ferrari’s strategy woes just won’t go away. Leclerc has seen two nailed-on wins disappear — at the Monaco GP and the British GP — after team calls dropped him down from a dominant position into fourth place.
Ferrari botched Sainz’s next tire stop on lap 47, taking too long to fit his rear left tyre.
“It always feels like there’s always something going on, reliability, mistakes, whatever,” a clearly frustrated Leclerc said.
Hamilton stayed out but was losing time to Verstappen as the rain increased.
Leclerc, who crashed when leading the French Grand Prix last week, came in for a third tire change on lap 55.
Ferrari’s strategy calls even confused Verstappen.
“I think Ferrari chose their wrong tires in their final stint before they pitted again,” Verstappen said. “Ferrari was very fast, they just made the wrong call with the hard tire (for Leclerc).”
Lando Norris finished seventh for McLaren, Fernando Alonso was eighth and his Alpine teammate Esteban Ocon was ninth. Sebastian Vettel of Aston Martin was 10th.
Vettel, who won his four F1 titles with Red Bull from 2010-13, is retiring at the end of the season, by which point Verstappen may well have beaten his F1 record of 13 wins in a season from 2013.

F1 said 290,000 attended the three days of racing in Hungary. On Saturday, F1 released a video condemning all forms of abusive behaviour.
Abusive behavior from spectators overshadowed the Austrian Grand Prix three weeks ago, where fans — particularly women — made F1 aware of rampant harassment, sexism, racism, and homophobia.
Verstappen was asked to comment after winning Sunday’s race on a video posted on social media this weekend, showing an orange-clad fan burning what appeared to be some Mercedes merchandise.
“That’s of course not acceptable,” said Verstappen, who called for increased security in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday. “I definitely don’t agree with that, because that’s just disgusting.”
After a month-long break the season resumes with a triple header in Belgium, the Netherlands and Italy.
“For both cars to be on the podium is really special for us. The other guys have an edge but we’re clearly closing the gap,” Hamilton said. “Hopefully we’ll bring more into the second half of the season and start fighting with the guys at the front.”
Russell pointed out how, not so long ago, Mercedes was lagging way behind Red Bull.
“We were finishing one minute behind, and now we’re 10 seconds back,” he said.
Verstappen also has good reason to welcome the resurgence of Mercedes.
“It’s good they’re competitive,” I quipped. “It means they can steal more points off Ferrari.”
AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly started from the pit lane after being penalized for multiple engine-part changes and finished 12th.
McLaren’s Daniel Ricciardo showed some of his old form with a great double overtake on Ocon and Alonso approaching midway through the race, celebrating with an exuberant expletive.
But Ricciardo wasn’t laughing later on as the Australian driver got a five-second time penalty for clipping Lance Stroll’s Aston Martin and sending him off track. Ricciardo placed lowly 15th.

Incredible exhausts: The worst crashes in motorsport history
Indigenous Australians Minister Linda Burney says she is confident the nation is ready for a referendum to decide whether to establish an Indigenous Voice to Parliament.
Key points:
Indigenous Australians Minister says the Voice referendum question must be kept simple
Linda Burney says the 1967 referendum is proof of Australia’s decency
The Greens spokeswoman on First Nations says she is skeptical the nation is ready
A Voice to Parliament was the key recommendation of the 2017 Uluru Statement of the Heart, a petition to government by Indigenous leaders following debate and discussions in Indigenous communities around the country.
On the weekend, while at the Garma Festival in the Northern Territory, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese proposed a draft referendum question that could be put to the public.
But a referendum is yet to have full buy-in from the Greens, Liberals or Nationals, a key concern being that there is not a clear picture on how the body would look and operate.
The Indigenous Australians Minister said the referendum question must be kept simple, but there were detailed proposals on how the body could function.
“There’s been 10 years of reports, parliamentary inquiries, discussions with constitutional lawyers, there has been a lot of discussions with Aboriginal leaders,” Ms Burney said.
“There is a lot of detail out there in the community.
“The last thing that we would want, which we have seen in the past in turns of referendums, is a proposition or a question that people can’t sign up to.”
For a referendum to pass it must have at least 50 per cent of the public vote yes nationally and in each state and territory.
A referendum hasn’t been put to the Australian public since 1999, when a ‘No’ result to Australia becoming a republic put an end to debate for a generation.
But Ms Burney said people should look further back when asking if a Voice referendum could succeed.
“Australians are decent, they’re fair, and when you go back to 1967, the last time there was really a referendum question directly to do with Aboriginal people, there was the most successful yes vote,” she said.
Ms Burney admitted the bar was high for a referendum to succeed, but she said she was not “so naive to think there won’t be a scare campaign and detractors”.
Greens spokeswoman on First Nations, Lidia Thorpe, said they were committed to the full implementation of the Uluru Statement of the Heart.
But she was skeptical that the nation was ready for a debate on the Voice to Parliament.
“I don’t believe we are at that point in this country where all Australians are open to hearing the true history of this country,” Senator Thorpe told ABC Radio National.
“I don’t think we need any mechanism except for a government that is open to telling the truth and a nation that is open to hearing the truth.”

Labor have committed to an Indigenous Voice to Parliament — how would it work?
Sen. Joe Manchin said the Inflation Reduction Act was a surprise to most people on Capitol Hill and across the country because he didn’t want to “disappoint people again.”
“The reason people weren’t brought into this, I didn’t think it would come to fruition,” the West Virginia senator told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” on Sunday: “I didn’t want to disappoint people again,” he added.
Manchin was a key holdout on the Build Back Better Plan — Biden’s social and climate spending bill — for more than a year, causing heavy criticism from his Democratic colleagues and advocates.
“With that, I didn’t want to build any anticipation up,” and then have it “come down,” he told Tapper.
Manchin said a select few officials were aware, such as the President. He said Biden “absolutely” knew the act was being built and “gave approval.”
The bill — which includes prescription drug negotiations, climate change solutions, and tax reforms — would be required to pass a 50-50 Senate split between Republicans and Democrats. However, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, an Arizona Democrat, may be a holdout on the legislation.
Manchin declined to say the last time he spoke with Sinema. “We work very close together on so many things,” Manchin said, “and she has so much in this piece of legislation.”
Sinema has not made her thoughts on the plan known to the public. “Hopefully, she will be positive about it,” Manchin said. “But she’ll make her decision. I respect that.”
Sens. Sinema and Manchin did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.
“It’s caused a lot of internal disquiet both among more junior staff [and at] more senior levels, particularly in the London office, and concerns were simply overruled,” the employee said.
BCG, which employs 25,000 people in more than 100 cities around the world, said: “The Bruce Henderson Summer Program has been in place for many years and is designed to help children have a broad educational and professional experience. Parents cover the primary costs, such as travel. Participants stay in college dorms, and the program is focused on education.”
The firm added that consultants who worked on the program had volunteered their time: “BCG did not staff a team to organize this.”
The firm reported sales of $US11 billion ($15.8 billion) for 2021. It has also tightened its travel policies for staff as part of efforts to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2030. Trips to cities such as Florence and Lisbon for prospective recruits to the London office have been axed.
Chief executive Christoph Schweizer said in February that he wanted BCG to hire climate activists to work for corporate clients and that he expects the firm will earn up to a third of its fees from climate consulting within five years. BCG said it “remains committed, and is on track, to reach net-zero climate impact no later than 2030, and we are on target to halve our carbon emissions by 2025”.
Last year, BCG also signed up to a program run by the UK’s Sutton Trust to help people from lower-income backgrounds enter consulting.
“This kind of behavior makes a mockery of the work that the [Sutton] Trust does to advance social mobility in finance and consulting,” said the employee, adding it is “also completely against the spirit of our very publicly stated net-zero ambitions”.
Staff writing anonymously in a private group on the Fishbowl app, which requires users to register with their work email addresses, made similar complaints that the work experience program was inconsistent with the firm’s public positions.
“People would take the net-zero commitment more seriously if there was more consistency across the board,” said one BCG staffer. “We get our global trainings killed and [managing directors/partners] kids get flown to London for a fun day?” said another.
A third labeled the program “super nepotism”, noting: “Our recruiting program aimed at the same age group is oversubscribed 40:1.”
One person describing themselves as a senior partner defended the firm saying: “We are paying our own way if we want our children to go.”
But a fourth BCG employee wrote: “Let’s advertise it and see what the public response is? Join BCG to babysit the bosses’ kids!”
“Shocking use of resources,” wrote a fifth, who said they had worked on the events.
An alleged video showing the Intel Core i7-13700K Raptor Lake CPU has popped up which shows an impressive 6 GHz overclock across all Raptor Cove cores. We just got the gaming benchmarks of the same chip a few hours ago and now we can look at what sort of capabilities will be on offer when it comes to overclocking.
Intel Raptor Lake Core i7-13700K 16 Core CPU Overclocked To 6 GHz Across All Raptor Cove Cores
The upcoming Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake lineup is going to be an optimization of 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs, featuring Raptor Cove cores with enhanced cache structuring, faster clocks, & also an increase to the number of Gracemont E-Cores. The CPUs have also been highlighted to offer some great overclocking capabilities and it looks like we have the first overclocking figures coming to us from Videocardz and Twitter users, @QXE87 & @esperonslaie.
Intel Core i7-13700K 16 Core Raptor Lake CPU Specs
The Intel Core i7-13700K CPU will be the fastest 13th Gen Core i7 chip on offer within the Raptor Lake CPU lineup. The chip features a total of 16 cores and 24 threads. This configuration is made possible with 8 P-Cores based on the Raptor Cove architecture and 8 E-Cores based on the Grace Mont core architecture. The CPU comes with 30 MB of L3 cache and 24 MB of L2 cache for a total combined 54 MB cache. The chip was running at a base clock of 3.4 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The all-core boost is rated at 5.3 GHz for the P-Cores while the E-Cores feature a base clock of 3.4 GHz and a boost clock of 4.3 GHz.
Intel Core i7-13700K 16 Core Raptor Lake CPU Overclocking
So there are a total of three benchmarks of the alleged Intel Core i7-13700K Raptor Lake CPU with overclocked frequencies. First and foremost, we have the chip running at 6 GHz on an MSI MEG Z690I Unify motherboard. This overclocking demonstration had just the 8 Raptor Cove P-Cores enabled and clocked at 6.0 GHz with a voltage supply of 1.421V.

The CPU temperatures should be disregarded since the PC is in the idle state so we can’t say what the maximum temps or power input was when running the CPU-z benchmark. What we do know is that the chip scored 983.3 points in single-core and 7814.7 points in multi-core tests.
Intel Core i7-13700K Raptor Lake CPU allegedly overclocked to 5.8 GHz on all 8 Raptor Cove cores. (Image Credits: Videocardz)
The second benchmark is with the whole 8 P-Core and 8 E-Cores enabled. We can see that the P-Cores are clocked at 5.8 GHz and the E-Cores are clocked at 3.7 GHz. The voltage was maintained much higher at 1.501V but it should be pointed out that the user wasn’t running this under LN2 and a high-end liquid cooler was being used. With this overclock, the Intel Core i7-13700K Raptor Lake 16-core chip scored 947 points in single-core and 12896 points in multi-core tests.

Core i7-13700K 8P-Core @ 6GHz
What is really interesting here is that even with a lower 3.70 GHz clock speeds, the E-Cores are responsible for 40% of the performance. This is why we have seen such a big performance uplift in multithreaded workloads for the leaked Raptor Lake CPUs.
Lastly, we have the chip running at 5.9 GHz across all P-Cores and here, we can actually see the power and temperatures that the chip produced. With a voltage supply of 1.447V, the CPU was maxing out at 86C with a power consumption of 238W (CPU Package Power). Now I was expecting the temperatures and power figures to be much higher but we should remember that these are just the 8 P-Cores that are active. Enabling the E-Cores should result in even higher power draw & temps for the chip.
The Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake Desktop CPUs including the flagship Core i9-13900K is expected to launch in October on the Z790 platform. The CPUs will be going up against AMD’s Ryzen 7000 CPU lineup which also launches in Fall 2022.
Hollywood star Margot Robbie has told how she will be “eternally grateful” to soap Neighbors after it launched her acting career.
Margot, 32, who began her TV career as Ramsay Street’s Donna Freedman from 2008 to 2011, appeared in the show’s finale, which aired last Thursday.
While the A-lister filmed her scenes for the final show in Los Angeles, she made a sweet gesture to her fellow castmates, sending 37 bottles of champagne to the Melbourne set, as revealed by Neighbors actress Christie Whelan on social media last week, The Sun reports.
Robbie said that the final episode marks “the end of an era”.
Now Hollywood’s highest-paid actress, she said: “I owe so much to neighbors.
“There are so many of us that owe [the show] for giving us a big break.
“It wasn’t just about giving me a break either – it gave me a real chance to work on my craft. It was the perfect training for Hollywood and I will always be eternally grateful.”
thursday’s neighbors finale saw Robbie return alongside a host of other fan favourites, including Jason Donovan, Kylie Minogue, Guy Pearce, Holly Valance and Natalie Imbruglia.
Anne Charleston, who played Ramsay Street legend Madge Bishop, also returned – with her late character appearing as a ghost.
Remembering her time on the soap, Robbie said it was only when she moved to London that she realized how widespread neighbors‘popularity was.
“It really is an end of an era for fans. When I lived in London, I understood at its peak how big it was. People would come up to me and tell me how they watched it every day after school.”
From fruit farm to Hollywood Hills
The actress, who grew up on a fruit farm on the Gold Coast, moved to LA after leaving neighbors in 2011 and landed a role in US TV show Pan Am.
But it was her part opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf Of Wall Street that caught the eye of movie bosses in 2013.
Soon after, she moved to South London where she shared a four-bedroom pad in Clapham with six other friends that they dubbed “The Manor”.
Her housemates were friends she had met filming wartime flick French Suite – including the assistant director and her now-husband Tom Ackerley.
Robbie went on to star in 2015’s focus opposite Will Smith and played The Joker’s girlfriend Harley Quinn in 2016 hitSuicide Squad.
In 2016, she and Ackerley also married, and the following year they swapped their Clapham flat for a $3.6 million villa in Hollywood.
But she said leaving London had not been an easy move for the couple.
She said: “It was such a hard decision to leave, but I just couldn’t keep living out of a suitcase.”
Back in LA, the actress went on to star as Tonya Harding in I, Tonya – which she also produced – and alongside Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron in Bombshell.
Both roles won her Oscar nominations.
She also starred as rising movie star Sharon Tate in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywoodappearing with former co-star DiCaprio as well as Brad Pitt.
Next year will see her hit the big screen in neon pink and sky-high heels after she was cast as Barbie in a romantic comedy about the iconic doll.
Directed by Greta Gerwig, the film also stars Ryan Gosling as Barbie‘s love interest Ken.
Robbie said: “When I read the script, I genuinely thought, ‘This is one of the best scripts I have ever read.’ I needed to be part of this story.
“I remember speaking with Ryan before we started shooting and we were just so excited to be part of this incredible script.
“Whatever people expect the Barbie movie to be like, they need to totally rethink it because Greta has done something special here.
“And Barbie is such a role model. She was a surgeon back in the early ’70s when a tiny percentage of females were applying for medical school.”
It is expected that in the hands of director Greta – whose last films were Lady Bird and Little Women – Barbie will get a thoroughly modern makeover.
‘Things have changed a lot’
It comes after Hollywood’s own makeover in recent years following the #MeToo scandals.
That movement was the focus of 2019 movie Bombshell, which was based on the sexual harassment of women working at Fox News.
Robbie, who starred as Kayla Pospisil, told at the time that it was only while working on the film that she realized what sexual harassment was.
She told Net-A-Porter: “I’m in my late twenties, I’m educated, I’m worldly, I’ve travelled, I have my own business – and I didn’t know. That’s insane.
“I didn’t know that you could say, ‘I have been sexually harassed,’ without someone physically touching you.
“That you could say, ‘That’s not OK.’ I had no idea.”
The actress also said that she has experienced harassment, but “not in Hollywood”, adding: “I struggle to find many women who haven’t experienced sexual harassment on some level.
“So yes, lots of times. And to varying degrees of severity throughout my life.”
Speaking last week, Robbie said: “I think things have changed in Hollywood over the past few years.
“There have been some difficult conversations and very brave people.
“We live in hope that all this courage that has been shown means nothing like this ever happens again.”
