Profile: Australia's Anna McNiven

A talent to watch for, Miss Anna McNiven!

Some people train themselves to be artists while there are some who are born artists. Well Anna McNiven is one of those who fall in the latter category. She has always been an artist from the outset. Not only Anna, but the majority of her siblings have an affinity towards the artistic field. She is one of six siblings raised in the beautiful land of Sydney, Australia. Her siblings have an empathy towards writing and dancing. When it comes to writing and dancing, Anna herself, is a professional actress, writer and dancer. She started dancing at the age of four. In high school, she went to Newtown Performing Arts High School in Newtown, Sydney. Here the seeds of professional dancing were sewn inside of Anna. In this very school in spite of taking dance as her major, she fell for acting when she auditioned and performed for the drama companies that were associated with the school. Her passion for writing as well as acting gives her an additional edge as an artist; she can better understand the role written for her, as she also is a writer.

She has been a part of many successful projects both in the film industry as well as in the television industry. Some of her films include Legend, Beyond Justice and The Appointment. Her performances in these films has been rated as top class and many of the top critics have rated her as the one to watch out for. Her television performances have not been any less. Here are some of the soaps she has starred in- The Vagrant Series, The David Seaman Show and the Cliff Broadsky Show. In the Cliff Broadsky show, she played the role of a host.

Apart from movies and television, this beautiful actress has also successfully worked in theatre and is certainly one of the best future bets of the industry.
