Twenty-four-year-old actress Ella Rubin has recently garnered significant online attention, with many fans comparing her looks to those of Hollywood stars Julia Roberts and Rachel Weisz. This surge in recognition comes as Rubin stars in the Amazon Prime Original drama "Sterling Point," which premiered earlier this month.
Viewers have taken to social media platforms like X to express their admiration. One widely shared comment noted the convergence of professional success and public attention, stating, "Imagine this: you’re the lead of Prime Video #1 show, everyone is praising your talent and comparing your face to the most beautiful women in the world including Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts, Rachel Weisz, Winona Ryder…"
Fans have described Rubin's features, including her hazel eyes, dark hair, and wide smile, with one user gushing, "Ella Rubin looks like she’s straight out of a renaissance painting." Another fan drew a parallel to Helen of Troy, writing, "She’s unreal. This is genuinely a face people would go to war for." Others noted a resemblance to actresses from 1990s romantic comedies, with one comment suggesting, "It's like all the pretty girls from 90s romantic comedies had a daughter."
Rubin herself has also been recognized for her potential, having been cast as Anne Hathaway's daughter in the 2024 Prime Video romantic comedy "The Idea of You." Her current role in "Sterling Point" is that of Annie Jacobson, an ambitious New York City teenager who inherits a Canadian island from her late grandfather.
Reflecting on her experience working on "Sterling Point," Rubin told The Hollywood Reporter that director Megan Park created a supportive environment. "Megan really prioritizes an actor’s wants and needs," Rubin said. "Often it’s too scary to say it or voice it, and I think because we got to know each other so well in the process of collaborating, she often would know what I needed."
The series has resonated with audiences, with one viewer commenting on Instagram, "[I] have not stopped dreaming about living in the most perfect lake house since finishing the series."
Rubin's acting credits also include appearances in the TV shows "The Girl From Plainville" and "Gossip Girl." Her upcoming projects include a role in Netflix's adaptation of Liz Moore's novel "The God of the Woods," where she will play a camp counselor named Louise Donnadieu.
