THOUGHT FOR THE MOMENT "One voice may change an opinion - many voices can change the world." WHAT IS SALLY CURRENTLY PROMOTING? Sally has fully entered the world of designing for t-shirts (and other products) with her two online stores: Incognita Enterprises Online Store and The Shakespeare Shoppe - it's an Elizabethan thing, crammed with t-shirts and other gifts for actors, writers, directors, producers and other entertainment industry types. She's also still acting and writing (just finished a TV gig, a stage role and a film) - but more on that at http://www.sallymclean.com WHO IS SALLY McLEAN? THE PERSONAL AND SOMEWHAT IRREVERENT VERSION An actress and writer by choice - a producer and web designer by necessity, Sally McLean has done many different things over her life so far. Almost born Canadian (her mother made it back to Melbourne with only days to spare) Sally grew up in Australia in a then outer suburb of Melbourne called Frankston. She spent her formative years being bored silly in class and playing up, which lead some less than diligent teachers to treat her like the class clown, and she has vague memories of actually being made to sit in the corner of the classroom facing the wall on more than one occasion. It turned out (years later, mind you) that she was actually dyslexic - something the school never thought to test her for. The one teacher who did encourage her in a supportive way was her Drama teacher, Mrs Sist, who encouraged her to put her energies into creative pursuits. So, ultimately, it is all her fault that Sally became an actress. In a strange twist, at age 12, Sally was chosen to participate in a Gifted Children's program (created for kids with higher than average I.Q.'s - yes, she was smart once, okay??), made up of students selected from all the various high schools statewide. Twelve students, of which Sally was one, meet each week after school to do extra work and develop their individual "gifts" and skills. Unfortunately, drama was not one of the skills provided for and so Sally quickly became bored with playing chess, learning advanced mathmatics and building model houses for the future (although, hers was pretty groovy, with aquariums in the basement and a pool in the roof, made entirely of solar panels), so she only lasted two terms in the program before refusing to attend anymore. The rest of her school years passed by in a bit of a blur - she does remember turning up to her Year 12 dance with a rather radical haircut, in a classic sportscar with a much older boy, which caused a huge scandal - particularly amongst the teachers - which, in her opinion, was the best way to say farewell to that part of her life. Her post school years were much more interesting, with lots of travel, mainly to the UK and US, a professional acting career and her becoming a playwright and screenwriter. She has also produced and directed various films and theatre productions, with plans to move into feature film in the near future. She continues to act in film, television and theatre and play up when she can. She's also become an Internet entrepreneur, opening her online store for showbiz people - Incognita Enterprises Online Store - providing designs on t-shirts, gifts, office wear and home ware for those working in the entertainment industry.
