Kylie Minogue was born in Melbourne, Australia. Her parents are Ron Minogue and Carol Minogue. Kylie was the eldest child in the family. Dannie Minogue, Kylie’s younger sister, is also a pop singer, but her brother Brandon didn’t want to work in show-business. So the Minogue sisters started their career since early childhood, and when Kylie was eleven, she took part in soap operas “Skyways”, “The Sullivans” and “The Henderson Kids”, but too much attention wasn’t paid to her. Dannie was more popular, than Kylie, but Kylie became more famous after shooting in the soap opera “The neighbors”.

During the charitable event in Melbourne Kylie sang the song “The Loco-Motion” of the American singer Little Eva and the contract with “Mushroom records” was signed in 1987. The “Locomotion” single became the number one single in Australian charts and the most sold single of the year.

So Kylie was invited to London to work with Stock, Atken and Waterman. The song “I should be so lucky” was written to her. When the first album “Kylie” was released, it took the first place in the British album chart and became the most sold album of the year. At the end of 1988 Kylie stopped shooting in “The neighbors” to concentrate on her musical career.

Being amazed with Kylie’s tour “Intimate and Live”, the Australian film director Bez Lurmann gave her a role in “Moulin Rouge”. Kylie played a small green fairy, although her film career was unsuccessful before. In 2004 Kylie sounded a small girl Florence in a cartoon “The Magic Roundabout”.

Minogue has established one of the longest and most successful careers as a performer in contemporary pop music, and in Europe and Australia, she has become one of her generation's most recognizable celebrities and sex symbols. In Australia, after being dismissed early in her career by some critics, she has been acclaimed for her achievements.

Although her later albums did not see the same commercial success as her more poppy tunes, Kylie is still one of Australia's greatest exports (along with "The Body" Elle MacPherson and fellow singer "Tiny" Tina Arena). She was last seen performing "Dancing Queen" and "On A Night Like This" at the closing ceremony of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.
