WHEN I AM UP AT 5:00 IN THE

MORNING TO WORK.

>> THIS IS HOW IT IS DONE.

SOME OF THESE GIRLS OUT PAY

THEIR DUES.

THAT WAS MARGOT ROBBIE PLAYING

TONYA HARDING IN THE 2007 FILM

"I TANYA."

A YEAR AGO ROBBIE WAS WRACKING

UP NOMINATIONS INCLUDING ONE AT

THE GLOBES AND ANOTHER AT THE

ACADEMY AWARDS FOR HER

PERFORMANCE.

THE 28 YEARS OLD IS WINNING FOR

HER PERFORMANCE AND

TRANSFORMATION INTO QUEEN

ELIZABETH THE 1st.

THE GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS MARK THE

HOLLYWO

HOLLYWOOD UNITED IN BLACK.

THROUGH HER FILMS AND HER

PRODUCTION COMPANY, ROBBIE HAS

BEEN PLAYING A LEADING ROLE

THERE, TOO.

MARGOT AND I GOT TOGETHER AT THE

SAME OAK ROOM HERE IN NEW YORK

FOR A SUNDAY SIT-DOWN.

THE POLICE REALLY EMPIED OUT BY

THE TIME WE GOT THERE.

>> WE ARE AT AN EMPTY BAR.

>> A VERY EERIE FEELING.

>> LET'S HOPE THIS IS NOT A

CURSE OF THE INTERVIEW.

I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE.

>> I KNOW, RIGHT?

DURING HER FIVE SHORT YEARS ON

THE BIG SCREEN.

MARGOT ROBBIE HAS A RESUME OF

COVENANT ROLES FROM HER BREAK

OUT AS THE WIFE OF JORDAN BELL

BELFOUR.

>> ARE YOU MARRIED?

>> MARRIED PEOPLE CAN'T HAVE

FRIENDS.

>> WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE

FRIENDS.

>> TO SUICIDE PSYCHOTIC VILLAIN

AND TANYA HARDING ON THE OSCAR

NOMINATED "ITANYA" AND NOW

PLAYING ELIZABETH THE 1st.

>> THE QUEEN OF SCOTTS.

>> YOU ARE INFERIOR.

>> WHEN YOU FIRST COME OUT, YOU

ARE LIKE WOW, THAT'S MARGOT

ROBBIE.

>> DOES SHE LOOK GORGEOUS?

>> WOULD SOMEBODY CAME TO YOU OF

THE IDEA OF THIS ICONIC ROLE

THAT'S BEEN PLAYED BY MANY OF

YOUR ACTING HEROES THROUGH THE

YEARS, WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION?

>> NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT.

I WAS LIKE I REALLY WANT TO DO

IT BUT I CAN'T BE QUEEN

ELIZABETH THE 1st, I WAS TRYING

TO REDO SOMETHING THAT OTHER

PEOPLE HAVE DONE.

I AM NOT CLASSICALLY TRAINED OR

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING OF THE

TIME PERIOD.

I KNEW VERY LITTLE ABOUT THAT.

I REALLY DON'T DESERVE IT TO BE

HONEST.

>> WHAT CHANGED YOUR MIND?

>> JOSIE.

>> I DON'T WANT SOMEONE TO PLAY

QUEEN, I WANT SOMEONE TO PLAY A

WOMAN.

OKAY, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT, I

CAN DELIVER THAT.

>> WHAT HAVE YOU PRODUCED IN ALL

YOUR TROUBLES?

>> DISCOURSE, DEATH?

AFTER SIGNING ON, ROBBIE STUDIED

UP.

>> SHE WAS THE LONGEST REIGNING

MONARCH.

>> SHE REBRANDED HERSELF AS THE

VIRG

VIRGIN QUEEN.

IT WAS THE GOLDEN AGE.

>> YOU CAN TEACH A COLLEGE

CLASS.

>> BEFORE I AM LIKE NO MAKEUP

AND STUFF.

>> MARY QUEEN OF SCOTT ALREADY

IS EARNING PRAISE OF WOMEN IN

POWER.

LAST JANUARY IN THE WAKE OF THE

HARVEY WEINSTEIN SCANDAL AND THE

RISE OF THE ME TOO MOVEMENT,

ROBBIE JOINED MORE THAN 300

OTHER WOMEN IN ENTERTAINMENT IN

SIGNING AN OPEN LETTER

ANNOUNCING THE TIME'S UP

INITIATIVE.

>> IT IS A MILESTONE THIS YEAR

OF A YEAR LATER.

DO YOU THINK HOLLYWOOD HAS SAT

UP AND TAKEN NOTICE AND HAVE

THINGS CHANGED TO YOUR EYES IN

THE LAST YEAR OR SO?

>> THEY HAVE.

THEY HAVE.

I HAVE JUST WRAPPED A FILM WITH

MOST HEAD DEPARTMENTS WERE

FEMALE ROLES AND FEMALE-LED.

I AM IN PREP FOR A FILM WITH A

SECOND TIME FEMALE DIRECTOR WITH

A BIG BUDGET BEHIND IT.

GETTING PEOPLE TO PUT MONEY

BEHIND THAT WAS TWO DIFFERENT

CONVERSATIONS.

YES, IT WOULD BE EASY TO SAY

YES, WOULD THAT BE NICE OR I

WILL SIGN OFF IN THAT POSITION?

>> ROBBIE IS DOING JUST THAT,

FOCUSING THROUGH FEMALE FILMS.

THE PRODUCTION COMPANY SHE

COFOUNDED IN 2015 WITH THREE

FRIENDS INCLUDING HER NOW

HUSBAND.

LUCKY CHAT HAS SEVERAL MOVIES IN

THE WORK LIKE THE HARLEY QUINN

SPIN-OFF "BIRDS OF PREY."

>> WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?

>> TO PUT WOMEN IN FILMS.

WE DO WORK WITH INCREDIBLE MEN

BUT YOU HAVE TO BALANCE IT AND

HAVE ALL OPPORTUNITIES ON THE

TABLE IN AN EQUAL WAY.

>> WAS THAT A DIFFERENT KIND OF

CHALLENGE FOR YOU TO NOT ONLY

STAR A MOVIE LIKE THAT BUT HAVE

YOUR PRODUCTION COMPANY BEHIND

IT AND YOUR NAME ON THE DOOR AS

WELL.

>> YES.

IT IS A BIGGER RESPONSIBILITY

AND YOU CAN'T BLAME ANYONE ELSE.

YOU ARE APART OF THE

CONVERSATION, NOT SAD, JUST

ACTING AND JUST PRODUCING.

IT IS AN ENORMOUS RELIEF TO SIT

BACK AND SAY OVERTIME, IT IS NOT

MY TIME.

SOMEONE ELSE SORTED OUT.

ROBBIE GOT HER START IN SCHOOL

PLAYS AND LATER LANDED ON THE

POPULAR SOAP OPERA "NEIGHBORS."

>> YOU CAN BE REALLY SWEET

SOMETIMES.

>> DID YOU HAVE GROWING UP

SERVER PERFORMER MENTALITY?

I KNOW YOU WERE IN MAGIC?

>> NOT AN ARTIST CAN DO IT.

DEFINITELY I HAD A DRAMATIC

FLARE GROWING UP.

>> AT WHAT POINT DID YOU REALIZE

OH, THIS COULD BE A CAREER, WAS

IT "NEIGHBORS."

>> YES, DO YOU HAVE OTHER JOBS

ON THE SIDE OR SOMETHING?

NO.

YOU JUST DO ACTING FOR A LIVING?

>> YEAH.

YOU PUT YOUR KIDS THROUGH SCHOOL

AND YOU BUY A HOUSE JUST ON

ACTING?

>> YES.

>> RAD, I AM GOING TO DO THAT.

DID YOU HAVE OTHER JOBS IN THOSE

EARLY DAYS?

>> YES.

I WAITED TABLES AND WAITED

BEHIND BARS, FOOD INDUSTRY AND

BABYSITTING AND PAST CLEANING.

>> YOU HAVE HAD IT ALL.

>> SERIOUSLY.

>> AND TODAY ROBBIE CAN ADD

MOVIE STAR AND PRODUCER TO THE

LIST.

A REMARKABLE RISE TO STARDOM FOR

AN ACTRESS DEVOTING HER WORK TO

MAKE SURE OTHER WOMEN RISE, TOO.

>> DO YOU STOP AND GO WHOA, THIS

IS TAKING UP QUICK.

>> YES, ALL THE TIME.

QUITE OFTEN I AM LIKE THIS IS

WILD AND EVERY YEAR I AM LIKE

NOTHING CAN GET BETTER THAN THIS

AND ANOTHER YEAR GOES BY AND

THAT WAS THE BEST YEAR, THAT WAS

ALSO.

>> "MARY QUEEN OF SCOTT" IS IN

THEATERS AGAIN.
