Photos and bio of Melanie Lynskey
Melanie Lynskey (Julie Bingham), an accomplished and versatile actress, took audiences by storm in 1994 with her award-winning performance (New Zealand Film and Television Best Actress Award) in Peter Jackson’s Heavenly Creatures opposite Kate Winslet. Since then, the New Zealand-born actress has amassed a number of credits both in television and on film. Most recently, she completed filming the independent feature Helena from the Wedding. Last summer, audiences saw her in Sam Mendes’ star-studded ensemble Away We Go and, more recently, Steven Soderbergh’s The Informant! opposite Matt Damon. Other recent film credits are: Tim Blake Nelson’s Leaves of Grass opposite Edward Norton; Clint Eastwood’s Flags of Our Fathers (in the female lead) and Show of Hands for the New Zealand Film Commission. Additional feature film credits include: Andy Tennant’s Ever After also starring Drew Barrymore; Sweet Home Alabama opposite Reese Witherspoon; Billy Ray’s Shattered Glass with Hayden Christensen and Peter Sarsgaard; Michael Cacoyannis’ The Cherry Orchard with Charlotte Rampling and Alan Bates; and the independent New Zealand road movie Snakeskin, which earned Lynskey her second New Zealand Film and Television Award nomination for Best Actress. She worked again with Peter Jackson in his second film, The Frighteners, and earned excellent notices for her work in Stephen Gaghan’s directorial debut film, Abandon. Television audiences know Lynskey best as Rose in the CBS series Two and a Half Men opposite Charlie Sheen. She has guest-starred in numerous television series, including The L Word, Psych and The Shield, as well as being one of the leads in Drive. Her miniseries credits are Comanche Moon (the prequel to Lonesome Dove) and Stephen King’s Rose Red.
