Bio
Molly Curnow is a young actor from Aotearoa (New Zealand) who brings humility, intelligence and joyful exploration to her work. Molly began acting professionally in 2019, 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 worked in numerous film, television & theatre projects. In 2023 she devised and performed in Massive Company's production 'Heart Go... BOOM!'. Molly can currently be seen as singer-songwriter Isla in the bold new television drama 'Testify', which aired early April 2024 on TVNZ.
