Connection
Chrissy Amphlett is a Actor Australienne born on 25 october 1959 at Geelong (Australie)
Christine Joy "Chrissy" Amphlett (/æmflət/; 25 October 1959 – 21 April 2013) was an Australian singer, songwriter and actress who was the frontwoman of the Australian rock band Divinyls.
Amphlett grew up in her home town of Geelong in Victoria, Australia as a singer and dancer. She left home as a teenager and travelled to England, France and Spain—she was imprisoned for three months in the latter country for singing on the streets.
In May 2001, Divinyls' "Science Fiction", written by Amphlett and lead guitarist Mark McEntee, was selected by the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) as one of the Top 30 Australian songs of all time. Amphlett and McEntee barely spoke after the band separated in 1996, but resumed contact when they were inducted in 2006 into the ARIA Hall of Fame—the pair eventually announced a new tour and album. Amphlett died in 2013 after a long battle with breast cancer and multiple sclerosis. Her contribution to the arts and legacy have been honoured by having a Melbourne central city laneway named "Amphlett Lane" in her honour, complete with a commemorative plaque and two artworks.
Amphlett and her bandmate Mark McEntee were romantically involved from 1982 to 1993. They met in 1980, and began a relationship two years later when McEntee split up with his wife. Their relationship was highly volatile—marred with drug and alcohol use, and physical fights—however the band's manager, Vince Lovegrove, later stated that the nature of their "weird" relationship was the "magic of Divinyls".
On 27 July 1999, Amphlett married American drummer Charley Drayton, who played drums on the Divinyls' eponymous album and was the drummer in the reformed group.
In an interview on the Nine Network program A Current Affair, on 7 December 2007, Amphlett revealed that she had multiple sclerosis. On 20 October 2010, she announced that she had breast cancer and was being treated in New York where she lived with her husband. She also said that her sister is a breast cancer survivor. On 24 January 2011, she claimed to be free of cancer.
