Australian actress Simmone Jade Mackinnon, mostly known for her roles in the 2000s shows Baywatch: Hawaii and McLeod’s Daughters, has spoken up about her recent financial struggles after achieving success earlier in her career. Mackinnon made a name for herself internationally when she appeared in Baywatch: Hawaii, an American spin-off of the original Baywatch, which aired from 1999 to 2001. The actress then returned to Australia where she played her most notable role in the popular Australian drama series McLeod’s Daughters, starring as Stevie Hall from 2003 to 2009. However, Mackinnon’s rise to fame was not enough to set her up for the rest of her career. Once McLeod’s Daughters ended in 2009, Mackinnon lost her ties to the industry, later finding herself in financial hardship.
