Australian actress Mary Rose Byrne has an estimated net worth of $12.5 million.

Though Australian-born actress Rose Byrne made her film debut in 1994, when she played a supporting role in the eccentric drama Dallas Doll alongside Sandra Bernhard and Jake Blundell, her breakout performances within her native country were both on the small screen; namely, in the soap opera Echo Point and the long-running drama series Heartbreak High. After developing a fan base and gaining some critical recognition, Byrne was cast alongside fellow Aussie Heath Ledger in Two Hands (1999), which featured the actress playing an innocent country girl whose would-be suitor has unwittingly found himself in the midst of a mafia scandal. Though she undoubtedly caught the eye of American filmmakers after Two Hands' premiere at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival, Byrne didn't appear in an American film until several years later, when she made a very small appearance in a very big movie -- Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones.

She recently starred in the Kristen Wiig comedy, Bridesmaids, released on 13 May 2011. On 15 August 2010, it became public that she had been cast in the role of Moira MacTaggert in the X-Men spin-off, X-Men: First Class, directed by Matthew Vaughn. The movie opened 3 June 2011.Byrne has employed several different accents in her films: Australian, English, American and Canadian.
