When Kylie was only 12, she did small time roles in soap operas like ‘Skyways’, ‘The Sullivans’ and ‘The Henderson Kids’. Her big break in the entertainment industry came with her ‘tomboy car mechanic character of Charlene’ on one of the most popular Australian soap operas called ‘Neighbors’ in 1986.

In 1988, the huge success of ‘The Loco-Motion’ in Australia led the British music producers: Stock, Aitken and Waterman, to sign her with their record labels in order to make her into an international star.
