Bio
Molly Curnow is a young actor from New Zealand who brings curiosity, dedication, and humility to her work. After growing up immersed in rural musical theatre, Molly began acting professionally in 2020, appearing in Amazon’s The Wilds and Tikilounge Productions Teine Sā - Aitu. In 2021, she was accepted into Auckland’s leading drama school The Actors Program, where she was able to refine her talents for stage and screen acting and learn from New Zealand’s leading practitioners.
Since graduating from The Actors Program, Molly has appeared as Karen Aim in Questions of Justice, starred in multiple short films, and has recently wrapped a leading role in an upcoming major New Zealand TV series. She also had the pleasure of working with Massive Company on their 2023 theatre production ‘Heart Go… BOOM!’ which she devised alongside her castmates and directors.
Alongside acting, Molly is a talented singer-songwriter
