Elly Hiraani Clapin

Not long after graduating from university, Elly Hiraani Clapin decided that investment banking wasn’t really her scene, and promptly jumped ship to pursue an acting career. That was a good year: Ray Liotta told her she had beautiful teeth on the set of feature film Bad Karma, and she was awarded a scholarship to study acting at New York Film Academy. She has been appearing in Australian and international stage and screen productions ever since, with roles ranging from a vampire to a Mormon to Shakespeare’s Juliet. Elly loves anchovies, donuts and Jimmy Fallon, can cook 90-second-rice in under a minute, and always cries during the Oscars.
