Earlier this month, Abbie was pictured filming scenes as Anna Nicole Smith at the WeHo Pride Parade in West Hollywood, California, for the motion picture Trust Me, I'm a Doctor.

The Lochinvar, Australia native was with co-star Kal Penn, 47, during the festive proceedings in Southern California, recreating a past outing Smith had at a June 12, 2005 Pride Parade.

Cornish donned a silver faux alligator skin dress with open sides in replicating the look Smith - who died in 2007 at the age of 39 following an accidental drug overdose - wore as she was a featured guest during the 2005 proceedings.

The actual garment the late Smith wore was sold in June of 2010 by Julien's Auctions for $437.50.

Trust Me, I'm a Doctor is based on Dr. Sandeep Kapoor's 2017 memoir Trust Me, I'm A Doctor: My Life Before, During and After Anna Nicole Smith, Deadline reported last month, with Penn playing the role of Dr. Kapoor.

They included a multicoloured bead necklaces with bead bracelets and a rainbow flag she was waving.

Cornish wore her blonde locks down and wore strappy silver heels as she was pictured alongside Penn as cameras rolled on the movie. She was pictured last month filming in Toronto.

Penn was clad in a sky blue T-shirt that read the film's title, with brown pants and black shoes. He was pictured walking arm-in-arm with Cornish, as well as on the back of a vehicle with a card showing the logo of the nonprofit Project Angel Food.

Cornish in a statement to Deadline last month said that 'playing Anna Nicole Smith is such a dream' and that she felt 'honoured to have been chosen by our amazing producers and talented writer/director, Thane Economou.'

She added, 'And I am so excited to work with our incredible cast and crew. I am blessed to stand alongside the charismatic and gifted Kal Penn and tell the tale of this moment in history.'

Cornish said she was 'truly grateful' for the opportunity to portray Smith.

'There are so many layers and chapters to Anna's life story that I look forward to embodying on screen with all of my heart and soul,' said the actress.

The film follows as the doctor's 'life is turned upside down when he is implicated in the death of his former patient,' the outlet reported, as he 'forced into the spotlight through the court of public opinion.'

In an Instagram post pointing to the article, Cornish said she was 'beyond excited to announce' her role in the feature film.

Penn told Deadline in a statement that the film will illuminate the interesting story of Dr. Kapoor, who he plays in the movie.

'We all know the tragic story of the iconic Anna Nicole Smith,' Penn said, 'but very few of us - myself included - knew much about her young doctor: flamboyant, old school, blurring the lines between patient and acquaintance, and ultimately arrested and charged following her death.

'It's a wild story brought to life in an especially tremendous script.'

Hamilton, best known for her iconic character Sarah Connor from The Terminator films, portrays Kapoor's lawyer Ellyn Garafalo in the movie.

The cast is rounded out by David Julian Hirsh, Eric Woolfe, Charlotte Ubben, Dhirendra and Al Sapienza.

Sapienza, best known for playing short-lived enforcer Mikey Palmice on The Sopranos, posted a pic to Instagram from a table read for the film last month.

He wrote: '1st Table Read for my new project with Kal Penn, Abbie Cornish and Linda Hamilton. Thank you Stephanie Gorin. I friggin love show biz!!!! lol.'
