MARGOT ROBBITE: Thirty and thriving
I was about 17 when I went through this period where I was obsessed with Australian TV. I would watch Neighbours and Home & Away all the time. Around that time the trailer for the new Martin Scorsese film The Wolf of Wall Street came out. There was this actress I recognised, I just couldn’t find out where I knew her from. And then it hit me! I was Donna from Neighbours! Ever since I would go and see everything this woman was in; she became my idol, my inspiration, my motivation to work on my craft and a living proof that no matter how humble your beginnings are, you can achieve anything with discipline and hard work.

CLINT EASTWOOD: 90 years of one of the greatest filmmakers of all time
He an actor, a director, a composer, a musician, a politician… It seems like there is nothing he is not good at, nor is he afraid of trying anything new. Today marks 90 years since one of the greatest filmmakers of all time was born and in honour of his birthday, here are some of my favourite movies of his. And I have to say, it has been really hard to narrow them down; I mean the man has 71 acting, 50 producing, 41 directing, 32 soundtrack and 9 composing credits to his name! It is impossible to get through them all, let alone narrow them down to your favourites.
