About this actor

Helen Reddy (born October 25, 1941) is an Australian-born singer and actress. In the 1970s, she enjoyed international success, especially in the United States, where she placed fifteen singles in the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. Three of those fifteen songs reached #1, including her signature hit "I Am Woman." Reddy was born into a well-known Australian show business family in Melbourne, Victoria, where she attended Tintern Girls Grammar School. Her mother, Stella (née Lamond), was an actress, and her father, Max Reddy, was a writer, producer and actor. Her half-sister, Toni Lamond, and her nephew, Tony Sheldon, are actor-singers. Reddy is Jewish, and also of part Irish descent on her father's side. At age four, Reddy joined her parents on the Australian vaudeville circuit, singing and dancing; she'd recall: "It was instilled in me: You will be a star. So between the ages of 12 and 17 I got rebellious and decided this was not for me. I was going to be a housewife and mother."...
