Home And Away (1993-1996)

After working as a model since her early teens, Melissa George landed a high-profile acting role at the tender age of 16. Playing Angel, she resided in Summer Bay for three sweet years, living with ‘flathead’ principal Donald Fisher, and eventually marrying love-of-her-life Shane Parrish.

It couldn’t last forever though, and Shane soon died of septicaemia. Angel then married a rich English bloke and headed to Blighty, taking the hearts of a generation of young soapwatchers with her.

Angelic Aussie? Quintessentially so.

      I would have loved to have seen her great work in "A History of Violence" mentioned!
