Early Year Of Celebrities : Kylie Minogue
Kylie Minogue was born in Melbourne, Australia, to Ron Minogue, an accountant, and Carol Jones, a Welsh dancer, from Maesteg. She is the eldest of three children; her sister Dannii Minogue (born Danielle Jane Minogue) is also a pop singer, and her brother, Brendan, works as a news cameraman in Australia.
The Minogue sisters began their careers as children on Australian television, and from the age of eleven, Kylie Minogue appeared in soap operas such as Skyways, The Sullivans and The Henderson Kids. Dannii Minogue became successful as a regular performer on the weekly music programme Young Talent Time, in which Kylie gave her first singing performance in 1983. Kylie was overshadowed by her younger sister until achieving success in 1986 with her role in the soap opera Neighbours.
Minogue played the character of Charlene Mitchell; a story arc that created a romance and eventual marriage between her character and that played by Jason Donovan culminated in a wedding episode in 1987 that attracted a large audience. Her popularity in Australia was demonstrated when she became the first person to win four Logie Awards in one event, including the “Gold Logie” as the country’s “Most Popular Television Performer”, with the result determined by public vote. Neighbours began screening in the United Kingdom in 1986, achieving high ratings.
