Profile
Cross her palm with silver and Lisa Chappell just might tell your fortune; in the early days of her acting career the award-winning actress often doubled as Juanita, a singing telegram-come-fortune teller to earn a crust between jobs. After 25 years in the acting business Lisa has a swathe of inspirational stories about dealing with the highs and lows of working in the creative industries, and overcoming obstacles.From being plucked from obscurity as an 18-year old to play stroppy rich girl, Chelsea Redfern, on the 1980s local TV soap Gloss to nabbing the lead role of cowgirl heiress Claire McLeod in the hit romantic drama McLeod’s Daughters, it's been sheer talent and hard graft – not fortune – that has spurred Lisa’s success in life.
Testimonials
"Lisa was MC for the Awards Gala evening for the Reel Earth Environmental Film Festival in Palmerston North 2011. A highly professional and energetic person with a detailed focus and steady attitude. She finalised and clarified the run plan for the event by working with the technical person and director. 100% reliable and delivered exactly what was required. The feedback from the audience was that she conducted the MC process in a very clear and professional way. I would certainly recommend her as she was friendly and easy to work with"
