Australian actress Eliza Scanlen was born on January 6, 1999. She first gained notoriety in the role of Tabitha Ford in the Australian serial opera Home and Away (2016), then won praise for her portrayal of a troubled adolescent in the HBO miniseries Sharp Objects (2018).
She played the young Eleanor Roosevelt in the 2022 episode of the Showtime series The First Lady. With leading roles in the drama Babyteeth and Greta Gerwig’s historical drama Little Women, she made her feature debut in 2019.
Scanlen was given the part of Tabitha Ford in the television soap opera Home and Away while still in high school. In the 2018 short film Grace, Scanlen played the lead role of the same name. The HBO psychological thriller miniseries Sharp Objects, in which she co-stars with Amy Adams, brought her fame for her role of Amma Crellin.

Who plays Emma in sharp objects?
In HBO’s Sharp Objects, Amity “Amma” Crellin plays the murderer of Ann Nash and Natalie Keene and serves as both the major antagonist and protagonist.
The 19-year-old Australian actress Scanlen plays Amma. That’s quite a departure from how old Gillian Flynn made the character in the book that served as the inspiration for the television series.
