Esther gets boost from Cats

Jimmy Bartel and Josh Hunt are rallying support for their favourite Home and Away star and gold logie nominee Esther Anderson. The Cats players came up with the idea to present the petite sceen actress with a club guernsey while Anderson was in town for her dad's birthday this weekend.

"We wanted to show our support," Bartel said. "It would be good to see a local win it," Hunt said. Anderson who will strut her stuff on the next series of Dancing with the Stars, said she was chuffed to have the club behind her. "I was at rehearsals this morning and told the guys I was coming to Geelong and who I was seeing," she said. "They were quite envious".

Anderson's entire family are Cats members and mum Rhonda has a weekly front row seat. The proud parent has been summoning support for her daughter and even convinced Gary Ablett to come on board. "He walked by our Parkington St store and I yelled out 'Gary, would you voting for Esther?".

Hunt said Ablett has been spreading the world at Skilled stadium where Anderson used to watch reserves games so she would be assured a front row possie for the seniors match. Anderson thanked the club and her home town for getting behind her in what she described as the most exciting time in her career.

"I'm not comparing myself to the Cats but I'm getting a small feeling of what it's like to have a whole town behind you," she said. "The support, especially from Geelong, has been incredible, it's amazing." While she is based in Summer Bay for work, Anderson returns to Geelong each month. "It's a time of relaxtion, I stay at home and chill out, read the newspaper and we have a family barbecue," she said. "It's like a holiday retreat."

Esther Anderson's long march with Dad for Anzac Day

HOME and Away star Esther Anderson has paid tribute to her family's war-service history by marching in an Anzac Day parade yesterday. The actress marched in Melbourne with her father Jack, who served with the RAAF in New Guinea during World War II.

She proudly wore the medals of her uncle Tom - one of the Rats of Tobruk. Her sister Lara, who marched with them, wore their aunty Anne's service medals. "It was really, really special," Anderson told Confidential. "My sister Lara [marched] last year for the first time. I was quite envious that I could not join her, so this year I made sure I [was] here."

The gold Logie nominee said it was wonderful to have shared the emotional and proud march with her father, who turned 85 on Saturday. "It was really really nice to share that with him," she said. "It was so worth it and so special to be able to do it. Lara and I were both really, really, proud to be there. Being there with him we were all a little bit teary. Dad and my uncle Keith were telling stories the whole way." Anderson then joined her family at their local RSL club in Melbourne, where they shared lunch with members of the 2/24th Battalion.

Logies glamour girls frock up

Rebecca Gibney, the 45-year-old Packed to the Rafters star says a win would be wonderful for her personally, but would also be a positive for other middle-aged women.

"It would be so thrilling to get another one because I've been around for so long, but it's also a goal for middle-aged women if I get one," she says. "You're still visible and vital." Gibney joined Home and Away beauty and fellow nominee Esther Anderson for an exclusive shoot with the Sunday Herald Sun this week.

Also, this week Esther took a trip back to Geelong and had a photoshoot with her sporting team, 'The Cats'.

Esther the same, at home or away

Fame hasn’t changed Esther Anderson’s outlook on life. The Geelong-born actress is the same happy, bubbly person she was as a child growing up in Belmont, her mother Rhonda says.

‘‘Esther’s always been full of beans and a real chatterbox,’’ Mrs Anderson said. ‘‘She’s always been a bubbly person and we love to have her around. She has an infectious laugh and she hasn’t changed since she’s got older, she’s still happy.’’

Glamour girl Esther, best known for her role as Charlie Buckton on the long-running drama series Home and Away, is a nominee for the silver and gold Logie awards at Australian television’s night of nights on May 2.

And she’s always had a passion for entertaining. ‘‘She was always out there participating in different things,’’ Mrs Anderson said. ‘‘She loved Rock Eisteddfod and she was in that every year in high school. She loved performing and dancing in front of audiences.’’

After completing year 12 at Belmont High School, Esther studied psychology before travelling across Europe with friends. When she returned, Esther began a career in modelling, which took her to Japan six months of the year. And after striding the catwalk for six years, Esther turned her focus to acting and made an immediate impact.

‘‘ Esther’s acting teacher said, ‘ look, you’re good enough. I think you need an acting agent’,’’ Mrs Anderson said. ‘‘Once she had an acting agent, it was a very short time before she got an audition and a part as Charlie Buckton in Home and Away.’’ Within in a week, Esther had packed her bags and moved to Sydney, where she has forged her career.

Golden Moments for Esther

Geelong-grown glamour girl Esther Anderson is nearing her rise from Belmont student to Australian television star. A performer throughout her childhood, Esther worked at McDonald's during her high school years and was school captain at Belmont High school.

Esther's mum, Rhonda, has opened the Anderson family photo album to allow the community to share her journey. It shows Esther as you've never seen her before. There's the curly, blonde-haired toddler, the toothless grinning primary school student, the star of school plays, the blossoming teenager and the McDonald's cashier.

Anderson first worked at McDonald's Belmont as a 15 year-old and was a team leader by age 17. By the time she was old enough to drive, she had saved up enough pocket money to buy her first car. And she was never too far away from the cameras, even at age eight. Esther was captured by photographer Bruce Long as she strolled up a street in Geelong in a raincoat and under an umbrella in 1986.

Currently a policewoman on long-time Australian television series Home and Away, 20 year-old Anderson was always the entertainer. An eight year old Esther and her best friend Simone, often dressed up and performed in front of family and friends.

This passion for acting developed into a career which has spanned more then two years in television. Esther is a nominee for the Silver and Gold Logie award at Australian television's night of nights on may. So Remember to keep voting for Esther in the Race for Gold.
