About the Author

Alison Brahe began working as a model at 16 years old. She was an instant hit in both the magazine and commercial worlds and soon found herself in demand in Australia, London and Tokyo. Big name clients like Coca Cola and Speedo came calling, as well as magazines like Cosmopolitan, Cleo and Dolly. In 1992, she graced the cover of Dolly seven times and in Cleo was voted among the "Top Most Influential Women of the Century" by its readers. Alison was the face of Portmans through their most successful period and later became the face of the Jacqui E clothing label. In the 90's Alison became the host of one of Australia's most enduring and successful children's television programs, Here's Humphrey. She went on to host her own afternoon show for the NINE Network, Guess What?. In December 1991, Alison married actor/singer Cameron Daddo. Together they moved to Los Angeles in 1992. It came as a shock to Alison's management when one day she walked away from a lucrative modeling and acting career to follow her heart. In 2013, she achieved her degree from UCLA in Early Childhood, and embarked on a successful career in childcare. Alison returned with her family to Australia in 2016 to spend time with her parents and unite her children with her homeland. She still teaches and has created alongside her husband a podcast called "Separate Bathrooms" with Nova Entertainment.
