Actress Libby Tanner stars in the new ABC TV program
“Fireflies”, which after a successful Saturday night debut, has been moved
to the competitive Thursday 8.30pm time slot.
Before “Fireflies” Libby had acted in a number of TV
series including the long
running and highly successful “All Saints”. It was her appearances in ‘All
Saints’ that led to her winning a Silver Logie and being nominated for the
Gold.
It was also during this period that Libby gave birth to her first child,
Edie.
Libby says at the time she thought she was prepared to be a working Mum
but
found the reality to be a lot different, “I did go back to work when she
was four months old and it seemed like the craziest thing to do. It was a
nightmare! She didn’t sleep! So the last year of ‘All Saints’ was just a
blur”.
When asked if she feels concerned “Fireflies” might be glamorizing the
hard and dangerous work of rural fire fighters, she laughs, “No! My make
up artist and I always have this joke. “Do you think this is too ‘Bold and
the Beautiful’ while you’re fighting a fire?” No, look, it’s not
glorifying. I think we work really closely with the RFS and they’re really
happy with what we’ve done so far”.
