Biography |
Brooke Satchwell is an Australian actress.
Satchwell started acting in 1994, appearing in the ABC's
Musical Harriet and several commercials before landing the
role of Anne Wilkinson in Neighbours. She won the Best New
Talent at the 1998 Logie Awards and an Australian People's
Choice Award for Favourite Teen Idol in 1999.
On 26 November 2008, Satchwell narrowly escaped injury after
being caught up in a terrorist attack as she sipped coffee
in Cafe Leopold, Mumbai. Satchwell filmed a complaint about
her treatment by the Australian consulate from the relative
safety away from the terrorist activities. This complaint
was released to the media while the hostage situation
continued and while the Australian Government negotiated to
assist the Indian government to end the crisis and sought
information about Australians still caught up in the crisis. |
