A tight white shirt and an ample serving of cleavage goes a long way when it’s coming from the luscious Paris Jefferson in Ridley Scott’s film The Counselor (2013)—she even manages to hold her own against co-stars Penélope Cruz and Cameron Diaz. The London-born, Australian-raised actress hasn’t been naked on film, but this exposure is enough to get your imagination going and to appreciate camera operators’ abilities to shoot the perfect up-shirt angle. The blonde babe has scored credits in London, Dublin, Los Angeles, Paris, Auckland, Brisbane, and Toronto, among others, so your chances of having admired her are pretty great, no matter what country you’ve been living in. If you’re looking for an award-winning performance, check out her role as Ms. Eve in Sunset Contract (2019), for which she took home a Best Actress trophy at the British Independent Film Festival. If big hair and catchy tunes are more your thing, head to YouTube and watch the video for Icehouse’s “Electric Blue,” an Australian band who made it big in the US with this one song, which stars Paris and her electric blue eyes; it’s got about 10.5 million views, and a killer sax solo. She’s been in a variety of not-so-famous movies with fairly famous people like Jim Belushi, Emma Samms, Dirk Benedict, Billy Zane, Keith Carradine, and Ed Begley, Jr. On television, she’s Gillian in the Peacock streaming series Departurein 2019, and First Lady Maria Campbell in the FX on Hulu series Y: The Last Man in 2021. And in real-life? She’s the long-time girlfriend of Andrew Leslie, a Former Member of Parliament and a retired Lieutenant General of the Canadian Forces. Bet he likes the white shirt, too.
