Sigrid Thornton – Born in 1959
Aussie movie and television actress Sigrid Thornton was bitten by the acting bug in school, and began her acting career in 1975 with Homicide. The treater-trained actress would then star in SeaChange, Face to Face and Peter Allen: Not the Boy Next Door. Thorton was also the reason why the term ‘Sigrid factor’ came to be, as the movies shot in towns featuring Sigrid prospered greatly, such as the Riverland, after the 1980s movie All the Rivers Run was shot there.
