Determined Deborra-Lee Furness is taking meetings, reading scripts and eyeing a long-overdue return to the screen after nearly 30 years of putting her acting career on pause for her failed marriage to X-Men superhero Hugh Jackman, insiders say.
“She gave up everything to support his rise — now it’s her turn,” a source explains. “She’s not just looking — she’s shopping for roles. If she doesn’t find the right fit, she’ll produce it herself.”

Thanks to a reported $150 million divorce settlement, Deb doesn’t need anyone’s permission — or paycheck.
“Deb’s not bitter, she’s focused,” says the insider. “She wants to remind people she was a powerhouse before Hugh — and she still is.”
