Lara Cox
as Anita Scheppers
actor biography
I was born in Canberra on March 6, 1978 - that makes me Pisces! I don't come from a large family - only one younger brother who I love dearly. I try and get back to Canberra to spend time with my family as much as possible.
I went to school in Canberra and I would love to tell you that I spent a lot of time studying, but I'm afraid I didn't!! However, I passed all my exams and handed in all my assignments and my marks were good enough to get into Uni. My school never seemed as fun as Hartley Heights High School!!
I went straight from school to Heartbreak High. I used to model in school holidays both in Canberra and Sydney and I spent two months in 1995 working in Taipai which was the hardest I've ever had to work in my life. I never enjoyed modelling as I do acting. It was just a way to make some money.
Because I have so little spare time these days I like to spend it catching up with friends. Depending on my mood, I either love quiet nights at home when I can relax watching videos and pigging out or, going out and dancing the night away! Spending the day at the beach is another favourite way to pass the time. AND, if I'm feeling energetic, I like to rollerblade!!
I am a lot like Anita in some ways but in other ways we are total opposites. For example, I would never say most of the things that she says and I am not as easily lead by guys. But I am passionate about what I believe in just as Anita is - although Anita seems to be most passionate about her boyfriend, Drazic, these days!!
I love working on Heartbreak High. The cast and crew are fantastic and we have a lot of fun. We have all become great friends and there have been some moments I will never forget.
