जीवनी

Novakovic also works as a Serbian translator for theatre and film.

Was born in Belgrade, Serbia, and moved to Australia at the age of 7.

She graduated from Australia's National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) with a degree in Performing Arts (Acting) in 2002.

Her younger sister Valentina Novakovic is also an actress.

Is of Serbian ethnicity.

I didn't have many friends; I was kind of bullied at school.

When Friday Night Lights (2006) finished, I cried for a day. I have a problem.

One actor in my life is enough, and that's me. With actors, it's too easy to go into this world of complaining. Someone will always be better, richer, more loved, do more work. Those dynamics don't interest me. The friends I hang out with, we create our own work rather than complain about acting.

I don't have a television. All I have is Netflix and Apple TV and Hulu.

What I have a problem with is money and name at the expense of talent and culture.
