Given Dame Judi Dench is her mother's cousin, it should be no surprise that Rebekah Elmaloglou became an actress, with her first role being a stage production of her favourite movie. She appeared in a Mad Max movie and then appeared in some of Australia's most iconic soaps playing an asthmatic, a single mother, a goth, an incest victim and then businesswoman Terese Willis in Neighbours. Axed last year, only to be renewed by Amazon FreeVee, Terese is still front and centre in Neighbours because now she is married to Toadie, a twist nobody saw coming. Find out how Rebekah was told about this shock development, and why the UK press always treat her with so much more respect.
