Kristie Raymond is a renowned Australian actress, whose remarkable career has been marked by her iconic portrayal of Danni McGregor in the Australian TV western-drama series, The Man from Snowy River, which aired from 1995 to 1996.
As a child, Kristie's fascination with the performing arts was sparked at the tender age of 11, when she witnessed a production of the classic musical 'West Side Story'. This experience had a profound impact on her, inspiring her to pursue a career in acting.
Kristie's journey in the world of dance began at the age of six, when she started taking lessons in jazz ballet, tap, and eventually ballet. She spent the next decade honing her skills, developing a strong foundation in these disciplines.
However, it was a chance encounter with a friend who had switched schools that led Kristie to discover her passion for drama. Her friend told her about a technical college where students had the freedom to devise their own plays, write music, and choreograph dance for their own productions. This innovative approach to theatre resonated deeply with Kristie, and she was soon drawn into the world of drama.
Today, Kristie is not only a talented actress, but also a successful producer. She runs her own production company, Kreation, which has produced a number of exciting projects, including a play based on the beloved children's story, 'Koala Lou', written by Australian children's author Mim Fox.
