Holly Valance Biography |
Holly Vukadinovic (born May 11, 1983), better known by her stage name of Holly Valance (which was inspired by a bed-sheet), is an actress and singer who was born in New Zealand, but moved to Australia at an early age. Holly is related to the late British comedian Benny Hill - Hill's cousin was her grandfather. She was educated at the Star of the Sea College, a Catholic high-school located in Melbourne, Victoria.
Career
Acting & Singing
Valance's big break came when she landed the role of Felicity 'Flick' Scully in Neighbours. Holly's first single was Kiss Kiss which was released in 2002 (based on Tarkan's hit single Simarik).
The video for Kiss Kiss was notable for the impression that she was dancing naked, with her nudity only concealed by strategically placed lighting. In fact she was dancing wearing flesh-coloured underwear, and the footage of her dancing was then digitally retouched to create the illusion.
Her debut album Footprints went on sale at the end of that year.
In 2002 she won the British GQ Award for "Woman of the Year".
Her debut song Kiss Kiss debuted at #1 in both the Australia ARIAnet charts and UK Singles Charts in (April-May 2002). Then her next song Down Boy peaked at #2 in the UK and at #3 in Australia, while her album Footprints debuted and peaked at #9 in the UK and at #16 in Australia. Her third single Naughty Girl peaked at #3 in Australia and at #16 in the UK. The first single State Of Mind from her next album of the same name then debuted and peaked at #8 in the UK and peaked at #14 in Australia, but the album didn't get into the top 50 of both charts.
