Played Marilyn Chambers
She was born in Sydney on 10 August 1969. Her mother remarried when she was just four years old and Emily didn't see her real dad again until 10 years later.
She left school before finishing her exams and launched herself into the acting world. For nearly a year, she worked in shops before getting a break in a post office training video.
Emily went to auditions for home and Away dressed as the A-Z of tartiness, wearing a tight-fitting little white dress, stilettos, earrings and bangles. She got the job.
Emily admits to being a huge fan of Marilyn Monroe and has a house full of her pictures. She gets a real kick out of playing the soap Marilyn although she sometimes feels 'like a pair of breasts on legs'.
Shortly after leaving Home and Away, Emily developed an eating problem and lost a stone in weight. When producers called her in for talks, she knew she had to sort herself out.
Her love life was a bumpy one: in 1990, she called off her engagement to Craig Simpson, a crew member on Home and Away, before marrying British musician Nick Lipscombe. They split up in 1994 and Emily says she's happily single.
We're in the process of creating a brand new look Back to the Bay to freshen things up, clear out the clutter and add some features as we go. Apologies for how long it's taking and how much of the site is looking rather peculiar as a result, but rest assured we're making progress and the new look will be complete within the next few weeks.
Find out more about Back to the Bay, one of the largest Home and Away websites on the internet.
