Amelia Conway
Amelia Elizabeth Conway was born on October 1, 1987 in Wahroonga, New South Wales, to British & Australian parents. Her mother, Edwina Conway, was a model and her father, Tony Conway, moved to Australia at 18. He built himself a successful career in electrical construction. Amelia comes from a family of four children, one younger brother and two older sisters, however the first born sister died as a baby from SIDS, Amelia never got to meet her.
Amelia graduated from Pymble Ladies College (PLC) in Sydney in 2005. Prior to that she attended Turramurra Public School but moved to PLC in year 5. At her new school Amelia took an interest in dancing and acting, taking part in school plays & musicals, dance competitions and the Rock Eisteddfod.
Amelia had to choose an elective for her year 12 HSC (Higher School Certificate). It was between drama and fashion design, she chose fashion, thinking she wanted to be a fashion designer. Her final work received high scores and Amelia went on to complete a Bachelor of Fashion Design at UTS (University of Technology, Sydney), completed in 2009. After graduation she worked as graphic textile designer and re-toucher for many years, include a 12 month stint at Australian active wear label Running Bare. Amelia then completed her second undergrad degree, a Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology) with Swinburne University in 2018.
Amelia's first big screen role was as lead female 'Laura' in Bad Influence by Andreas Toumbas. She then landed the comedic role of 'Louise' in indie quirky feature 'Friends & Strangers' by James Vaughn. Since 2018, Amelia left the fashion industry and has focused solely on acting, and it is now her full-time profession. She has had success in TVCs and indie productions in Sydney and short films in LA.
Amelia has studied the US accent with Linda Nicholls-Gidley, Natasha McNamara and Barbara Hastings, as well as auditioning and performing in several US short films. Amelia can also perform a Modern British (Modern RP) Accent. Amelia takes joy in and is experienced in improvisation, comedic and dramatic, having been a part of her theatre sports team at school; she then went on to study with Laugh Masters Academy (LMA) and Improv Theatre Sydney (ITS).
Amelia is also a keen writer and has directed her own comedy web-series 'Roller Coaster Testers' set for release late 2022.
Amelia's career may have started later than most actors but she works three times as hard and her agent refers to her as one of the most hard working actors in Sydney. There is still lots more great projects to come her way and we look forward to seeing what is next for Amelia.
