Kate knows what it means to seize
the day. In 2007, the veteran actress
walked away from a role she had played
almost her whole life, as Sally Fletcher
in Home And Away. “I was so highly
emotional. I didn’t know where I was
headed,” she says.
She recalls walking the Logies’ red
carpet and people asking her how
she felt about coming to the awards
ceremony for the last time. “It was like
it had been the death of me.” Kate has
since gone on to conquer radio, become
a mother and an author. “When I watch
that person I want to tell her everything
will be okay. Not everything you are will
always be pinned to that one job or that
one achievement,” she says.“I look at that
person now and
I think, she was
just a girl. So
much has
happened since
then.”
