Yael Stone says green is the new black

Yael Stone took the world by storm, as Lorna Morello on the hugely popular Netflix original Orange is the New Black.

After Orange is the New Black ended, Yael made international headlines when she alleged that actor Geoffrey Rush had behaved inappropriately towards her during the production of The Diary of a Madman. He denied the allegations and separately won defamation proceedings against The Daily Telegraph, and was awarded record damages by the court.


In 2019, Yael was back home in Australia, expecting the birth of her daughter. The summer bushfires that would close out that year prompted her to take a new path. Setting acting to the side and pursuing advocacy and action to prevent dangerous climate change.

In this conversation Jamila Rizvi and Yael Stone discuss life after Orange is the New Black, motherhood, her allegations against a fellow actor and her new career path, helping to find solutions against the climate crisis.

Yael is the founding director for the non-for-profit group, Hi Neighbour. This volunteer organisation is energised with the power of the past and excitement for the future.
