Sally Boyden Biography
Sally, born Sally Ann Boyden, on May 21, 1965, in Essendon, Australia, is now aged 58 years. Her zodiac sign is Taurus.
Her nationality is Australian while her ethnicity is White. Her religion is Christianity.
Unlike an average child, Sally didn’t have time to enjoy her childhood years. Or should we say, she was “not allowed” to be a child because she had to spend most of her childhood years between work and school?
Talking about work, she joined the entertainment industry in 1971, when she was barely six years old. After featuring in her first TV series in 1971, Sally continued building her career right after that. Of course, her parents gave her moral support, but she was still a child.
Yes, she has had to deal with bullies at her school following her leaving the Young Talent Time TV series to promote her solo album on a rival TV show.
Sally Boyden has even had to suffer from heroin and drug addiction, which she admitted was introduced to her when she was going through all these “too young and famous” phases of her life.
Yet, her father, Bradley Boyden, and family weren’t negligent to the fact that she was just a child—their child. They were responsible parents, either way and tried their best in protecting her innocence, still. But they could only do so much.
Speaking of family and parenting, her father, in his words, says in June 1976, thus:
“Television has never interfered with Sally’s schooling and it never will. Even if she decides to make a career out of show business, we want her to have a full education.”
Fame Almost Killed Sally Boyden
“Fame almost killed me,” implies Sally in an August 2015 interview with New Idea. Finally opening up about her drug addiction and how she suffered bully in school, the YTT actress says:
“Being on Young Talent Time would change my life in every way. Looking back is bringing up so many memories – good and bad.
I had an awful time [being bullied and teased] at school because of this instant fame. My whole family’s life changed.
Then one night I was at a friend’s house and somebody offered me heroin. Before I knew it, I was an addict.”
Meanwhile, with the help of her friend Duran Duran and keyboardist Nick Rhodes, Sally Boyden got clean and has stayed that way for over 35 years.
Bradley Boyden is the name of Sally’s father while Carmen Boyden is the name of her mother. Her father, Bradley, worked as a car dealership owner and her mom, Carmen, took care of the household.
She has three siblings; two brothers and one sister.
