My Take
It would be lazy to file Deborra-Lee Furness under 'Hugh Jackman's wife,' because she's an accomplished artist in her own right. An Australian from New South Wales, she won a Silver Shell for Best Actress and was made an Officer of the Order of Australia in 2022, and she's worked across acting, directing, and producing. I especially admire her taste for quiet, weighty films like Jindabyne over easy crowd-pleasers. To me she reads as someone who has shaped projects both in front of and behind the camera, and who deserves to be discussed under her own name.
