From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lara Jean Marshall (born 30 July 1988 in London, England) is an English-born Australian actress and recording artist.
She is probably best known for her co-starring role as Lisa Atwood
in the popular Australian television series The Saddle
Club, alongside Keenan MacWilliam and Sophie
Bennett.[1]
Early
life
Marshall was four when her parents took her to see a stage
production. She reportedly became so enthralled she refused to
leave the theatre after the play's conclusion.[1]
Since then she has remained infatuated with acting, earning her
first stage role at the age of seven in a minor part as the lamb in
a Kidz for Kidz production of Charlotte's Web and later singing
and dancing in Babes in Toyland for
the People's Playhouse. It was not until being chosen as Young
Eponine in Les Misérables for Cameron
Mackintosh's 10th Anniversary presentation of the classic in
Melbourne, that things began to look bright. Marshall also attended
Toorak College in her schooling years. As of 2009, Marshall was
training at the Victorian College of the Arts (Melbourne
University).[2]
The Saddle
Club
Lara was cast as Lisa Atwood in The Saddle Club, a television
series based on a series of books written by Bonnie Bryant.
First shown in 2001, the show, which has enjoyed significant
success, was renewed for a second and third season, during which
time it added various new characters and dilemmas for the girls to
interact with and overcome. The show has earned much of its
international success from its ability to draw in a fan base with a
diverse age range. During the show's sporadic run, Lara has
released four albums with her co-stars, Sophie Bennet (Stevie Lake)
and Keenan MacWilliam (Carole Hanson), under the name The
Saddle Club, all of which have made the Australian charts with
two earning "Gold" status. A number of singles have been released
under the same name, with notable hits. The Saddle Club is still
being shown on Popgirl. Season three of The Saddle
Club launched in fall 2008 with a different cast, due to the
fact that the original cast are now young adults.
Sydney
Royal Easter Show
Marshall and other cast members performed The Saddle Club
Arena Show on horseback during the Sydney Royal Easter Show in
2004 at the Sydney SuperDome[3] to
crowds of over 7,000 people.
