Australian actress and singer Belinda Emmett has died at the young age of 32 due to complications of breast cancer. She was diagnosed with the disease at age 24, and it spread to her bones, eventually causing her death.
Belinda's funeral was held at the same church where she married her husband, comedian Rove McManus, 6 months prior.
Belinda was most famous for the TV drama series Home and Away and All Saints.
"It wasn't a matter of if, it was a matter of when. The little bastards were going to get me. It was a weird sensation, almost an out-of-body experience. I don't think I'll ever be able to explain it.[5] In an interview with Charles Wooley on 60 Minutes that same year, she said:
"I think people underestimate the power that they have within themselves, I really do, and I think these kinds of challenges, they force you to look that little bit deeper and see what you're really made of. I always knew I was pretty strong. I've always been pretty gutsy and pretty ballsy, but I think I surprised myself this time around."
I'm sure she will be missed. What a sad story.
