Hot Tamil Actress Image Biography
Armstrong was offered a role in the cast of SeaChange in 1998, as Heather Jelly, the ever-devoted but long-suffering wife of corrupt local mayor Bob (John Howard). The role won her critical acclaim, mainstream attention and several awards.[3] When SeaChange ended in 2000, Armstrong continued on with her theatre work and also led the cast of Lantana, the award winning Ray Lawrence film also starring Anthony LaPaglia, Barbara Hershey, Geoffrey Rush, Glenn Robbins and Vince Colosimo.
Not only did Armstrong win the Inside Film (IF) Award, Film Critics Circle of Australia Award and the AFI Award for her Lantana performance, but – the same year – she won another AFI, for final season of SeaChange, making her the second actress to win two AFI awards in one year.[3] The first had been Sacha Horler for her 1998 Lead Role in Praise and 1999 Supporting Role in Soft Fruit awarded in 1999.[11]
In 2002 Armstrong joined the cast of medico-legal drama MDA on ABC alongside Jason Donovan and Shane Bourne. However, Armstrong left the series at the end of its second season. In the series her character, Dr Ella Davis, left the firm that was the focus of the show. After MDA, Armstrong acted in films One Perfect Day, The Oyster Farmer,[2] Virus, Car Pool and Razzle Dazzle. On 10 May 2008 ABC-TV started screening a six-part series Bed of Roses with Armstrong in the lead role as Louisa Atherton.[12][13] She has completed the film Reservations due for release in 2008.
[edit]Author
Armstrong wrote a self-help book, The Circles, released on 1 November 2003.[14] She described the book as being a practical exercise to empower people and map their heart.[15] As of May 2008, the book's US publisher Beyond Words and Armstrong are negotiating book appearances for September 2008, including a mooted spot on The Oprah Winfrey Show.[1]
Her second book Fool on the Hill was released in March 2006;[16] it was about the nature of personality.[5] A travel guide, Newcomer's Handbook for New York City was co-edited with Belden Merims in 1996.[17]
[edit]Public profile
Armstrong works with several charity organizations[5] including Childwise, being a board member of Big hART[10] and as spokesperson for the Cure for Life Foundation which sponsors research into brain tumour treatments.[18] She represented Cure for Life in Season Five of Dancing with the Stars in 2006 with Christopher Ryan.[4] They were the third couple voted off.
Armstrong has publicly opposed the War in Iraq; in one instance, she sat on the steps of the Victorian Parliament in a purple bra to draw attention to her cause.[5]
On 29 August 2004, Armstrong featured an interview in the Sunday Telegraph that appeared critical of singer Kylie Minogue and actress Nicole Kidman and their contemporaries for damaging the Australian and international entertainment industries by lowering standards. Armstrong expressed disdain at the fact that the industry – particularly the Academy Awards – gave praise to beauty rather than talent, expressing scorn at Minogue, Kidman, and others such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Halle Berry; while expressing admiration for actors such as Meryl Streep and Cate Blanchett. However, in a July 2005 interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, Armstrong claimed that she was misrepresented in that article.
In October 2008 Armstrong appeared as the face of a "myth-busting" advertising campaign for Coca-Cola, created by the agency Singleton Ogilvy & Mather.[19] Titled "Kerry Armstrong on Motherhood and Myth Busting", the print advertisement purported to correct "myths and conjecture" about Coca-Cola drink products. Claiming her three boys called her "Mum, the myth buster", Armstrong rejected suggestions that Coca-Cola "rots your teeth", "makes you fat" and is "packed with caffeine".[20]
In April 2009, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commissioner ruled that the advertisements Kerry Armstrong acted in for Coca-Cola were misleading: "Coke's messages were totally unacceptable, creating an impression which is likely to mislead that Coca-Cola cannot contribute to weight gain, obesity and tooth decay," said the ACCC's chairman, Graeme Samuel.[21]
[edit]Personal life
Armstrong has been married to: Brad Robinson (briefly in 1981), Alexander Bernstein (fl. 1981), Mac Gudgeon (married in 1990) and they have a son named Sam, Mark Croft (c. 1996, separated in 2001) and they have twin sons.[1][5] In 2007, Armstrong was living with partner Greg Lucas, and her three sons, on a farm outside of Melbourne.[10] As of 2008, she was described as a single mother with three sons living in the Yarra Valley.[1]
