Kylie Ann Minogue was born on 28 May, 1968. The eldest of three
children, Kylie's acting career began early, but it was her role as
"Charlene" in the Australian soap,
Neighbours (1985), which
established Kylie as an international star. Her singing career began,
purely by accident, when a record company executive heard Kylie's
rendition of Little Eva's 1962 hit, "The
Loco-Motion". She signed with PWL Records and hit-makers
Stock/Aitken/Waterman in 1987. Five albums and a greatest hits
compilation followed, and she made history by having more than 20
consecutive top ten hits in the UK. Her motion picture debut came with
the starring role of "Lola" in
The Delinquents (1989). She left
PWL Records in 1992 to head in a decidedly more mature musical
direction, and her self-titled debut on deconstruction records was
released in 1994, spawning chart hits like "Confide In Me" and "Put
Yourself In My Place". Kylie's doings were always a favorite subject of
the press, but she really made waves with her controversial 1995 duet
with
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds,
"Where the Wild Roses Grow". 1997 saw the release of Kylie's first
single in more than 3 years, "Some Kind of Bliss", co-written and
produced by James Dean Bradfield
and Sean Moore of The
Manic Street Preachers.
