If you don't know Margot Robbie's name yet, you will soon.<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;"> </span>
<p class="p1">Robbie played Jordan Belfort's (Leonardo DiCaprio) blonde bombshell wife, Naomi Lapaglia, in "The Wolf of Wall Street."<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;"> </span>
<p class="p1">Since then, <span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">Robbie's role as the Duchess of Bay Ridge has gotten her a lot of attention in Hollywood.</span>
<p class="p1">Earlier this month, Warner Bros.' announced Robbie will star in Warner Bros.' adaptation of "Tarzan" opposite "True Blood" star Alexander Skarsgard. <span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;"> </span>
<p class="p1">Between now and 2016 it's one of five big projects for the 23-year-old actress.
Here's what else she's currently working on:
<ul>
<li>" Suite française " (2014): an adaptation of Irene Nemirovsky's 2004 World War II romance novel starring Michelle Williams.</li>
<li> Focus <span>" (2014) : A romantic dramedy featuring Will Smith.</span></li>
<li>" Violent Talent " (2014): a crime movie starring Ray Liotta from director Matthew Michael Carnahan (he wrote the "World War Z" screenplay).</li>
<li>" Z for Zachariah " (2015): sci-fi film starring Chris Pine and Chiwetel Ejiofor ("12 Years A Slave"). Robbie replaced Amanda Seyfried as the lead. </li>
</ul>
<span>Robbie strikes us as </span><span>the next Scarlett Johansson meets Amanda Seyfried. She even stole the "Z for Zachariah" role away from the latter actress.</span>
Before "Wall Street," Robbie started out as a soap opera star in Australia where she earned two Logie Award nominations <span>- the equivalent of our Emmys <span>- </span></span>for her role on "Neighbours."
Here's Robbie at the Logie Awards in 2009:<img src="http://static6.businessinsider.com/image/53052551eab8eafd4f55718d-1200-924/logie-awards-margot-robbie.jpg" border="0" alt="logie awards margot robbie" width="600" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;" />
In 2010, she <span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">left Australia to pursue a career in Hollywood. You may recognize her for a role she landed on A</span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">BC's short-lived series "Pan Am" or a part in last year's "About Time," featuring Rachel McAdams.
Here's Robbie in 2011's "Pan Am" (right):<img src="http://static6.businessinsider.com/image/530527346da8119e6955718b-960-640/margot-robbie-pan-am.jpg" border="0" alt="margot robbie pan am" width="600" /></span>
Hollywood's not the only one courting Robbie now.
After nude scenes in "The Wolf in the Wolf of Wall Street," Hugh Hefner asked her to pose for Playboy. <span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">Don't expect to see her in the magazine, though.</span>
Robbie told New Zealand radio station The Edge she turned down the offer saying <span>"her family [was] through enough." The actress revealed to Jimmy Kimmel she</span> had already lied to her family about filming nude scenes in "Wall Street."
Now, Robbie is starting work <span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">on "Z for Zachariah," dying her blonde locks brown for the role. </span>
