In March of 2002, host Cindy Rhodes talks to singer and actress, Natalie Imbruglia, who was in San Francisco attending The National Association of Recording Merchandisers (NARM) convention. |
Born in Australia in 1975, Natalie first found fame as an actress and not
as a singer. She landed the teen role of Elisabeth 'Beth' Brennan/Willis
on the Australian soap opera Neighbours. After a two-year stint,
she left for London and quit the popular soap at the age of 19 because she
felt creatively stifled.
Being typecasted for the role she played on the series, Natalie had
problems getting work, as well as obtaining a UK work permit. But
two years later, things started to fall into place. She met her future
manager, Anne Barrett, who helped introduced Natalie to several high
profile music and record producers, including Phil Thornalley, a former
member of the rock group Cure.
The pop single "Torn"
was a smash hit for Natalie in 1997 from the double platinum-selling album,
"Left of the Middle," that debuted on the charts at Number 10.
In 2001, she released the album, "White Lilies Island," with
another hit single called "Wrong Impressions."
Recently, following her interview with Sidewalks, she announced
that she is returning to acting . . . in a feature film. Natalie, playing
the role of special agent Lorna Campbell, will star with John Malkovich
and Rowan Atkinson in a spoof spy film, "Johnny English."
The exclusive Sidewalks Entertainment TV interview, which is shown in two-parts, has Natalie talking about her career and writing music.
