Here is another of my archive interviews with celebrities to mark their birthdays. June 1st is the birthday of the Australian actor and singer, Jason Donovan. He initially achieved fame in the Australian soap Neighbours, playing Scott Robinson, before beginning a career in music in 1988. In the UK he has sold over 3 million records. His debut album Ten Good Reasons was the highest-selling album in the UK in 1989, with sales of over 1.5 million. He has had four UK No. 1 singles, one of which was “Especially for You”, his 1988 duet with fellow Neighbours co-star Kylie Minogue. He has also appeared in several stage musicals, including the lead role of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in the early 1990s.

In this excerpt he begins by talking about his family background in showbusiness.
