Sigrid Thornton

Australian film and TV industry luminary, actress Sigrid Thornton has cornered the market in feisty leading roles. She is best known for her role in “The Man from Snowy River” and more recently as the relationship-challenged magistrate Laura in “Sea Change”.

She says she knows remarkably little about her ancestry as up until now her focus has been on career and family. But now at middle-age with nearly grown-up children and ageing parents she believes it’s time to take stock.

Being born into a politically-active family with a mother famous for chaining herself to a Brisbane bar-rail in protest at women being denied the right to drink in public bars with the men. Sigrid believes her penchant for feisty leading-lady roles is no accident and expects to find that she comes from a long line of strong women.
