Many of the faces that have become familiar to us in American TV and movies got their start "Down Under" with the help of Australian TV. This week's Bold Face highlights three actresses who've gone from the Outback to the back lots of Hollywood…

From Tasmanian devils to Satan himself, Australian actress Rachael Taylor’s life has been quite devilish. The Tasmanian-born Taylor currently stars as Jane Van Veen on ABC’s new drama series, 666 Park Avenue, which premiered in September. The actress, who got her acting start on Australian TV, now plays one half of a young, mid-western couple that moves into an elite apartment building in Manhattan’s Upper East Side and soon begins to realize that the building is also home to evil, mysterious, supernatural forces. In keeping with that theme, Taylor here is pictured looking sinfully good in the Valentino V622S sun style from Marchon

This month you’ll be able to hear the Aussie in the animated Rise of the Guardians and next year she appears in one of the most highly anticipated films of 2013, Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby.
