  Courtney Eaton

  Courtney is best known for starring as ‘Lottie Matthews (aka the ‘Antler Queen)’ in Showtime’s hit series YELLOWJACKETS. The show has received incredible praise, with Forbes calling it “one of the best shows ever made.” It still holds a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes and has been nominated for an Emmy for ‘Best Drama Series’ in two successive years. Season 3 roared to a massive S3 premiere, outperforming shows like the White Lotus (which premiered on the same night), and outperformed previous seasons of the show by a 40% increase. The fourth and final season will air this November. Courtney recently wrapped the indie the THE SAUNA MASTER, from Sundance director Julian Higgins. Shortly before that, she wrapped shooting ICONOCLAST, which she stars in opposite Gabriel Basso, who is also directing. The film recently premiered at Tribeca. Also on the festival circuit, she garnered critical acclaim for her star performance in PARACHUTE, where she won the Special Jury Award for Performance. The film was directed by Brittany Snow, and also stars Thomas Mann, Dave Bautista and Gina Rodriguez. “Courtney Eaton's fearless portrayal of Riley, a young woman struggling to manage her addictions, ensured that Parachute succeeded as a nuanced take on what holds us back and what lets us fly. The actress is at points hopeful and devastated, quiet and vicious, delivering a remarkable performance.” - SXSW Jury “Eaton is the big breakout here, knocking it out of the park with a performance that never lets her character off the hook for her flaws, but never stops being mesmerically watchable.” - The Hollywood Reporter Courtney got her big break after co-starring in MAD MAX: FURY ROAD as one of Immortan Joe’s wives, which was her first audition ever. The film also stars Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron, and went on to be a massive box office and critical success, winning 6 Academy Awards. She has also appeared in movies like Drake Doremus’s Sundance drama, NEWNESS, with Nicholas Hoult, Lionsgate’s big budget, action fantasy movie, GODS OF EGYPT, and the SXSW cult classic hit, PERFECT. She has also been the face of multiple brand campaigns, most recently starring as the face of Cartier, in the campaign directed by Sofia Coppola, as well as co-starring the most recent Chanel campaign directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Timothee Chalamet.
