## Early life and modeling
Eaton grew up in Bunbury, a city in [Western Australia](https://www.edgepedia.org/western-australia), and attended Cathedral Grammar School there.[6](https://www.allocine.fr/personne/fichepersonne_gen_cpersonne%3D595509.html) She was scouted as a model at 16 while still in school, and her professional modeling career began in 2012, giving her early experience in front of the camera before she moved into acting.[7](https://www.teenvogue.com/gallery/courtney-eaton-mad-max-fury-road-chanel-interview) • [2](https://www.filmweb.pl/person/Courtney%2BEaton-1833931)
Acting was not an early ambition. In a 2015 interview she said, "I never wanted to act. I wasn't shy as a student, but I wasn't into drama."[7](https://www.teenvogue.com/gallery/courtney-eaton-mad-max-fury-road-chanel-interview)
## Film career
**Mad Max: Fury Road.** Eaton's screen debut came in [George Miller](https://www.edgepedia.org/george-miller)'s 2015 action film *Mad Max: Fury Road*, in which she played Cheedo the Fragile, one of the wives held by Immortan Joe, opposite [Charlize Theron](https://www.edgepedia.org/charlize-theron), Nicholas Hoult, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Riley Keough, and [Abbey Lee](https://www.edgepedia.org/abbey-lee).[1](https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/yellowjackets/cast/217719/) • [8](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/courtney_eaton) She booked the role off her first audition ever and filmed for five months in the African desert.[1](https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/yellowjackets/cast/217719/) • [7](https://www.teenvogue.com/gallery/courtney-eaton-mad-max-fury-road-chanel-interview) Her second audition brought the co-lead role of Zaya in Lionsgate's *Gods of Egypt* (2016), directed by Alex Proyas, alongside Gerard Butler and her *Mad Max* co-star Abbey Lee.[1](https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/yellowjackets/cast/217719/) • [6](https://www.allocine.fr/personne/fichepersonne_gen_cpersonne%3D595509.html)
**Independent and studio films.** She followed with Drake Doremus' Sundance drama *Newness* (2017) with [Nicholas Hoult](https://www.edgepedia.org/nicholas-hoult), *Status Update* (2018) as Charlotte Alden, the SXSW cult hit *Perfect* (2018) as Sarah, and *Line of Duty* (2019) as Ava Brooks.[1](https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/yellowjackets/cast/217719/) • [8](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/courtney_eaton) In *Parachute* (2023), she played Riley; the film is her highest-rated on Rotten Tomatoes, at 83 percent among critics.[8](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/courtney_eaton)
She also appeared in *Iconoclast* with [Gabriel Basso](https://www.edgepedia.org/gabriel-basso), which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 9, 2026, and is credited as a producer on the upcoming film *Girl in Pieces*.[9](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5196907/news/) • [4](https://www.allocine.fr/personne/fichepersonne-595509/filmographie/)
## Yellowjackets
Since 2021, Eaton has played Teen Lottie on *Yellowjackets*, the Showtime series in which a high school girls' soccer team survives a plane crash in the remote Canadian wilderness in the 1990s, with the adult survivors' lives tracked 25 years later.[1](https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/yellowjackets/cast/217719/) • [9](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5196907/news/) Her character is the team's "resident rich girl, whose ambitions and polish belie a personal struggle she keeps hidden from her teammates."[1](https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/yellowjackets/cast/217719/)
Eaton was originally a recurring guest star; *The Hollywood Reporter* reported in 2023 that she had been upped to series regular for season 2, an offer she had actually turned down before the pilot.[5](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/yellowjackets-courtney-eaton-lottie-revelations-season-two-1235353360/) In the season 2 finale, an on-the-mend teen Lottie declares, "The wilderness chose who fed us. It's already chosen who should lead us," a line that points to Natalie ([Sophie Thatcher](https://www.edgepedia.org/sophie-thatcher)) rather than Lottie herself as the group's leader.[10](https://time.com/6282358/yellowjackets-season-2-finale-explained-natalie/)
The series was renewed for a fourth and final season, which [Paramount+](https://www.edgepedia.org/paramount) scheduled to premiere on November 20 on its premium tier.[9](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5196907/news/) • [11](https://www.justjared.com/tags/courtney-eaton/) The season was in production in Vancouver in early 2026.[9](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5196907/news/)
