Delta Goodrem Biography |
|||||||||||||
| November was born in Sydney, Australia on November 9, 1984. She knew at a very young age that she was destined to perform, and told her parents, Denis and Lea, that she wanted to act when she was only 7. They wasted no time, and enrolled her in a drama school, and her career took off from there. When her parents saw that she was serious about her chosen profession, they offered to take her to auditions, and young Delta was happy to oblige. While it's obvious she wasn't going to get to play Lady Macbeth on Broadway -- not right then anyway -- there was still ample work for Delta. She began acting in television commercials for both the Australian and American markets, most notably in an ad for Galoob toys, and she was the face of Nesquik for four years. During the same period, she also guest-starred on popular Australian TV shows like A Country Practice, Police Rescue, and Hey Dad. She was 13 when Wheatley began to help her hone her musical style, and develop her career. In 2000, while still only 15, Sony Music, recognizing her talent, offered her a record deal. Soon after, Delta released her first single "I Don't Care," but it never went higher than the 64th spot on the ARIA (Australian Record Industry Association) charts. In July 2003, her life took a turn for the worst. Only 18 years old, she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease. Fortunately, this is a treatable form of cancer and Delta is determined to fight it. She has put her career on hold while she receives chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Her character on Neighbours has been written out of the show until she recovers, and her performances have been canceled. She even had to turn down her dream of singing the national anthem at a Sydney Swans game. But as soon as she's better, she's going to take the world by storm. | |||||||||||||
