Kristy Wright

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kristy Wright (born July 14, 1978 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia; name also erroneously given as Kirsty Wright) is an Australian actress.

She is the oldest child in her family, with three step-brothers and two half-sisters. Hoping to win a contest for acting lessons, she sent in her photograph and ended up with a full year's paid tuition.

Her first part was a guest role in Police Rescue. From 1995 until 1999 she played the part of Chloe Richards Fraser in the Australian soap opera Home and Away (and briefly returned to this role in December 2005, when her character died from an embolism resulting from a car accident.)

Following Home and Away she starred in Chuck Finn, Above the Law and Something in the Air with Eric Bana. She went on to feature in the Australian hit Crash Palace and a political satire called Corridors of Power. Following this success she was picked up to feature in an American TV show called Beastmaster as a ninja warrior. She also filled roles on 'The Crop' and a short film titled Sweet Dreams.

Kristy worked on an episode of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's - The Lost World, and has also featured in the Australian drama The Alice, the film Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (in which she had a small part as the hand maiden Moteé) and several TV commercials.
