GiGi Edgley 25 "hasent she been 25 for some years now?" ,Makes her debut in the Sceret Life Of Us next week, a role that will put her at the top of the celebrite in Australia. But the Daughter of one of the nations most high profile promoters is no stranger to fame "Funny NieMMY's never heard of him! untill now!:P" She has earned a cult following in the United states with her role in the sci-fi series Farscape. Although Farscape did not take off in Australia , Despite being made in Sydney, it built up a massive folllowing in the US & Britain and GiGi's character "space trollop" Chiana was a fan faviourite. "I was at a US convention and saw a line that ran across the room and out the door" GiGi said. "I asked is Buffy the Vampire slayer here and I was told 'No thats the line for you to sign autographs, Dear" "It was madness" she said , producing an action figure for her character out of her bag. "I couldn't belive it all the merchandising. I was on plates , and forks, comic books, you name-it." She admits her dad was not impressed whe she first told him off the role.After I did Water Rats a few years ago, I played a junkie, a hooker then a alien, then dad said when are you going to get some real work?" "They all say that :P hehehe" But Gigi said her Father could not be more supportive and unlike many celebrities with famous parents, is happy to talk about him. It was her idea to have her father in the photo shoot for the sunday herald. "NieMMY:Jezz she looks like her old man!" "He made me what I am, Why wouldn't I want to talk about him?""We are so open with each other. I ring him everytime I have a problem .He's on the other end of the phone going 'What am I, The bloody complaints department'?". Gigi said that she was destined to go on stage."I never stopped dressing up and playing make-belive,She said. "NieMMY :She's not robin carouso there, is she! hehe :P" "You couldn't help it with my home life. With dad's job I was living with the circuses, living with Marcel Marceaus, living with Tina Turners, and the Olivia Newton johns." "there was a lot of plate throwing , but there was there was also a lot of love." "My parents split up a long time ago, but its been hard to tell. There great mates." "They gang up on me all the time . they are complete opposites, My mum Jeni a former Miss Australia is into alternative lifestyles and is always telling me to follow my passion, While dad has a work till you drop then work some more ethos ,But they give me great advice." GiGi's character in The Secret Life Of Us, George, is an industrial design student. She returns from overseas to rekindle her relationship with Christian(Michael Dorman). But there is a unexpected romantic twist coming up. GiGi's other TV credits include the recent critically acclaimed tele-movie Black Jack, Staring colin Friels. She played Friels daughter, Liz , cofined to a wheelchair because of spina bifida. "It was a good meaty role ,she said. I did a lot of research into women who suffered the condition." "It must have been intense for them, with this fit young chick coming in and asking if they can go to the loo or make love." Channel Ten has commisioned three more scripts for Black Jack based on the success of the original. Da End [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
