B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Samara Weaving into the ol’ VCR.

On February 23, 1992, Samara Weaving was born in South Australia—Adalaide, to be precise. 

This is the part where I would usually do my whole “but you probably know her better as…” bit, but it seems as though our girl uses her real name in the biz. 

Moving on. 

I don’t have a lot of info about Samara Weaving’s early life, but it seems like her family moved around a bit, so her upbringing was split between Southeast Asia, Australia, and Fiji. 

She attended an all-girls boarding school as a teenager, where she…wait for it…participated in their drama program.

Samara Weaving first began acting professionally in Australian soap operas in 2008 and began modeling soon after. 

After landing a role in Ash vs Evil Dead (and inadvertently becoming the subject of an absolutely idiotic MAGA social media hoax), her career would continue gaining traction with roles in Mayhem, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, and The Babysitter, just to name a few. 

There’s not much more that I can say about Samara Weaving that hasn’t already been said (except for the fact that I somehow didn’t know her uncle is Hugo Weaving). 

Samara, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤

Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite Samara Weaving content:
