Natalie McCurry (7 July 1966 – 27 September 2014)[1] was an Australian actress and beauty queen who was crowned Miss Australia in 1989.[2]

Career

Natalie McCurry was an original main cast member on Australian television series Chances,[3] playing Rebecca Taylor for 71 episodes. She left in 1991, as many cast members were leaving due to increasing demands to do nude scenes.[4] She also had guest roles in several television series including Sons and Daughters, Hey Dad..!, Time Trax, Flipper, Twisted Tales, Home and Away and All Saints.

McCurry played a lead role of Carmen in the Australian dystopian Ozploitation film Dead End Drive-In in 1986.[5][6] Other film credits include the comedy Going Sane (1987), horror films Cassandra (1987) and Kadaicha (1988), erotic thriller Glass (1989), black comedy Mushrooms (1995) and romantic comedy/drama Oyster Farmer (2004). She also appeared in the television films Danger Down Under (1988) and Official Denial (1993).

Personal life

McCurry was married to husband Sean, with whom she had four children.[7]

In 1990, McCurry was injured, breaking her collarbone, after one of the cords broke while doing a promotional tandem bungee jump at Birkenhead Point in Sydney. This resulted in a temporary ban of the sport in New South Wales.[8][9]

Death

McCurry passed away from cancer, on 27 September 2014. Her funeral was held in Osborne Park, Western Australia.[10]
