KRISTY WRIGHT

Kristy Lee Wright was born on the July 14, 1978, and has lived all her life in Sydney. She is the oldest child in her family which consists of her two half-sisters and three step-brothers. Kristy got into her acting career more by chance than design. She sent in a photo for a competition to win acting classes with the Keane Kids and ended up with the prize of a year's tuition.

Her first job was a guest role on Police Rescue that had her hanging off scaffolding about 20 metres in the air. Kristy first appeared on Home and Away as Chloe Richards from June to August 1995. Before being given the role she had to change her appearance. "The producer asked me to lighten my hair before I got the part of Chloe, as they were really looking for a blonde." Kristy originally got only six weeks of work "However, the character was a hit and I was offered a long-term contract". Page 2 =>
