Jacqueline Ruth "Jacki" Weaver, AO (born 25 May 1947) is an Australian theatre, film, and television actress. She is known internationally for her performances as Janine "Smurf" Cody in Animal Kingdom (2010) and as Dolores Solatano in Silver Linings Playbook (2012), both of which earned her a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Weaver emerged in the 1970s as a symbol of the Australian New Wave through her work in Ozploitation films such as Stork (1971), Alvin Purple (1972) and Petersen (1973). In 2005, she released her autobiography titled Much Love, Jac.
Weaver was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Her mother, Edith (née Simpson), was a migrant from northern England, and her father, Arthur Weaver, was a Sydney solicitor. She attended Hornsby Girls' High School, and won a scholarship to study sociology at university, but instead embarked upon an acting career.
Weaver has been working in Australian film, stage and television since the 1960s. The turning point in her career came in 1965 just before she was about to go to university and was cast in the Australian TV series Wandjina!.

Now airing on Starz is Blunt Talk, the new comedy series from Bored to Death creator/showrunner Jonathan Ames and executive producer Seth MacFarlane. The half-hour show stars Patrick Stewart as Walter Blunt, a British import intent on conquering the world of American cable news. The problem? Blunt is out of control. As Allison said in her positive review: Stewart careens through the series with a childlike, genteel mania, even as he snorts cocaine, shatters a man’s testicles, and demands to be spooned in his office. For some, the major appeal of Blunt Talk will be seeing such a venerable figure as Stewart engaging in sophomoric and reckless behaviors. But Stewart is at his most side-splitting when Blunt is simply being petulant. I got to see the first few episodes, and they made me l...

Picnic ad Hanging Rock, o Picnic a Hanging Rock (Picnic at Hanging Rock) è un film di Peter Weir del 1975 tratto dall'omonimo romanzo della scrittrice australiana Joan Lindsay. Noto in Italia anche con il sottotitolo Il lungo pomeriggio della morte, il film fu proiettato per la prima volta all'Hindley Cinema Complex di Adelaide l'8 agosto 1975. È stato uno dei primi film australiani a ottenere visibilità internazionale e un certo successo commerciale. Fruttò la fama mondiale al regista Peter Weir, artefice negli anni seguenti di altre pellicole di notevole successo come Witness e L'attimo fuggente. La storia scritta dalla Lindsay è completamente d'invenzione, anche se alcune frasi tratte da interviste con la scrittrice hanno lasciato credere che vi sia qualche riferimento ad alcuni fatti...
