was six years of age. Lauren has studied in both dance and vocals, and has
achieved success in both areas. Lauren's first job was a television
commercial for QUIK, a milk drink. Since that time Lauren has worked on
stage, film, and television. At eight years of age, Lauren sang and danced
on stage as "Baby", in the musical "The Seven
Little Australians", where
her love for acting was realised. Her greatest achievements to date for acting, are receiving two AFI Awards (Australian Film Industry Awards). In 1991, "Best Acting by a Juvenile" in a Feature Film, for her portrayal of a young girl who contracts leukaemia, and which results in her death, in the film "Act of Necessity". Then in 1993, "Most Outstanding Performance by a Young Actor on Television", for her role as "X", the organiser of her Zyrgonese family, in the television series, "Halfway Across the Galaxy and Turn Left".

Filming has sometimes meant that Lauren has had to travel to other
countries. This has given her the opportunity of seeing other cultures,
and making many friends, as well as visiting some interesting
places. Lauren has filmed in New Zealand,
Poland, China,
and England, as well as
Australia. Lauren has also performed
live in the USA, in Hawaii and Disneyland.
Through acting Lauren has been able to try many things, When not filming Lauren attends school, and is in Senior High School. She hopes to achieve a good result which will enable her to further her education. At present acting is her first choice, however Lauren realises that this may change, and wants to be prepared if this should happen. Lauren's other interests are listening to music, seeing a movie, and catching up with friends. |

| Something about Galaxy. The series has 28 episodes and was brought out on video in England but not in Australia. It was made after a book by Robin Klein. Published as a TV tie in 1994 (3.50 English pounds)(144 pages). This first book ends at episode eleven. A second book was written after the series was finished. She didn't mentioned a title so I looked for it. It's still not available from English and American publishers. The title is: Turn right for Zyrgon (also by Robin Klein, 1994 Penguin books) It's a nonfilmed story. And continues the story after the family AND Jenny have been beamed back to Zyrgon. Things get really complicated at Zyrgon. So it's an exciting book to read if you liked the series. Keep in mind that this book is very hard to get when living in Europe! (virtually impossible I might say!) |
Lauren plays Mikki Salter in the series Home and away. But she only
played a guest spot in it for nine times. The episodes in which Lauren
will play, were showed mid April this year. Lauren wrote about it: "I play Mikki in this and am a fairly angry person, not like me at all" |
Lauren About Underwater Filming From Noreo's bulletin board February 19, 1997
"When we do the underwater filming on Ocean Girl, we usually go out on a
boat for two weeks. Every morning, after breakfast, we get ready to go
in the water. The camera and crew go in first, and then the stunt
people help the actors in the water. Lauren... " |
