Even in her sixties, Sigrid Thornton still has a lineup of projects she is working on, thanks to her work ethic, which directors are always drawn to. Thornton has been committed since she was 11 when she began reenacting scenes she had seen on TV and attending theater workshops. Her efforts would soon pay off, becoming the first Australian actress to play a lead role in a US network drama aired during prime time.
