While she was performing with Leeanna Walsman (Zam Wesell) in the play La Dispute for the Sydney Theatre Company, Rose Byrne was discovered by casting director Robin Gurland and given the small role of Dormé in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002).

Playing one of Queen Amidala’s all-star squad of handmaidens, she later told Entertainment Weekly that working with Natalie Portman was a dream come true.
I got to work with Natalie. I’m such a fan of her and her work. She’s my age, and she was so lovely to me. I only had one line. “I’m worried about you, my lady, go back to the Capitol,” or something like that. I worked heavily, months and months of work, with various acting coaches. It was a lot of work, but me and George, we got there in the end.

After her small but memorable role as Dormé in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, Rose Byrne continued to rise in Hollywood. Beyond her acting talent, she has become a fashion icon, often turning heads on the red carpet with her impeccable style.
