Hand On My Heart It Really Is Kylie Minogue Following on from an earlier post that detailed Kylie Minogue's humble beginnings to her first year as a singer, I now carry on with 1989. So Kylie Minogue has been a child actress, starred in the soap opera Neighbours, released her debut single, The Locomotion which has been the decade's biggest selling single in her native Australia and released her first world wide hit I Should Be So Lucky which has reached No 1 in England, Australia and many other countries, her debut album entitled 'Kylie' has sold 5 million copies and a string of hit singles have been released from it.

In 1979 her younger sister Dannii was auditioning for a role in the soap opera The Sullivans when instead of hiring her they offered Kylie the position who they found more suitable for both the role and age of the character, several other appearances followed until 1986 when Kylie joined the popular soap opera Neighbours, her character Charlene Ramsey was a permed, tomboy, mechanic who falls in love with Scott, played by Jason Donovan complete with 80's mullet.
