Kylie’s showbiz career began young
The now well-known pop star began her career in acting as a child and appeared in her first on-screen role at 12 years old.
As per her IMDb, Kylie Minogue’s first on-screen role was in an episode of the Australian drama Skyways in 1980.
That same year Kylie went on to feature across eight episodes of another Australian drama, The Sullivans. She later also appeared on other drama series, including The Henderson Kids and Fame And Misfortune.
She was 17 when she first appeared on Neighbours
British and Australian audiences will probably best know Kylie Minogue best for her role as part of the classic soap opera Neighbours.
Kylie made her debut on the series aged 17 in April 1986 as she took on the role of Charlene Mitchel. She later left the show in 1988 as her music career took her to new heights after the success of The Loco-Motion the year before.
More than three decades on, the singer has had seven number-one singles in the UK and is considered to be Australia’s highest-selling female artist.
