Deborah Mailman is one of Australia’s most acclaimed actresses – and she is happy for it to stay that way.
The star tells this week’s issue of Stellar Magazine that heading to Hollywood after success at home isn’t important to her.
‘I think that whole idea of, “Oh, I’m going to Hollywood” doesn’t feel like that’s the path anymore’ the 52-year-old says.
‘You want to work where the great work is, right?
‘And whether that’s working in America, whether it’s working here or whether that’s working in England, it’s really about finding the interesting people that you want to walk with and where the ideas are’ she continued.
‘And I found those ideas here at home. That’s what I want to be a part of’.
Last month, Mailman won her sixth Logie, this year bringing in the Best Lead Actress in a Drama for her role in Total Control.
She returned for the second and final season of the critically acclaimed ABC drama last year.

Mailman again co-starred with Rachel Griffiths in the series, which is set amongst Australia’s power brokers.
The final season saw Indigenous activist-turned-politician Alex (Mailman) clashing with the former Prime Minister, Rachel Anderson (Griffiths).
Rachel wants to form a breakaway political party. Meanwhile, Alex battles to survive a public controversy that could destroy her career, after launching a nation changing policy.
As Alex tries to survive, she learns whether its possible to fight off her enemies – without losing her integrity.
