Lara Jean Marshall (born 30 July 1988 in London, England) is an English-born Australian actress and recording artist. She is probably best known for her co-starring role as Lisa Atwood in the popular Australian television series The Saddle Club, alongside Keenan MacWilliam andSophie Bennett.[1]
Early life
Marshall was four when her parents took her to see a stage production. She reportedly became so enthralled she refused to leave the theatre after the play's conclusion.[1] Since then she has remained infatuated with acting, earning her first stage role at the age of seven in a minor part as the lamb in a Kidz for Kidz production of Charlotte's Web and later singing and dancing in Babes in Toyland for the People's Playhouse. It was not until being chosen as Young Eponine in Les Misérables for Cameron Mackintosh's 10th Anniversary presentation of the classic in Melbourne, that things began to look bright. Marshall also attended Toorak College in her schooling years. Since 2009, Marshall has been training at the Victorian College of the Arts (Melbourne University).
The saddle club
Lara was cast as Lisa Atwood in The Saddle Club, a television series based on a series of books written by Bonnie Bryant. First shown in 2001, the show, which has enjoyed significant success, was renewed for a second and third season, during which time it added various new characters and dilemmas for the girls to interact with and overcome. The show has earned much of its international success from its ability to draw in a fan base with a diverse age range. During the show's sporadic run, Lara has released five albums with her co-stars, Sophie Bennett (Stevie Lake) and Keenan MacWilliam (Carole Hanson), under the name The Saddle Club, all of which have made the Australian charts with three earning "Gold" status. A number of singles have been released under the same name, with notable hits. The Saddle Club is still being shown on Popgirl and Discovery Kids. Season three of The Saddle Clublaunched in fall 2008 with a different cast, due to the fact that the original cast are now young adults.
Sidney Royal easter show
Marshall and other cast members performed The Saddle Club Arena Show on horseback during the Sydney Royal Easter Show in 2004 at the Sydney SuperDome[2] to crowds of over 7,000 people.
