Leila McDougall

I am a farmer, but certainty not your stereo typical farmer, look at me!! Other farmers in the community say I’m ‘quirky’, but that is just a plight way to say I’m ‘totally nuts’, haha.

I’m a ‘rear unit’, I like to say, no one is remotely close to being like me. I have lived a very colourful life for someone my age, and I love it!! 
Not many people can keep up with my lifestyle, I love being busy and experiencing as much as possible. Often people don’t believe me when I talk about my life and what I have done.
To name a few;
fashion designer, teacher, farmer, political advisor, charity founder and director, magazine editor, Down Syndrome support carer, chicken sexer, night club bar tender, mother and wife


I have always wanted to be an actress, but I have never had the confidence to read scripts, due to being dyslexic. But I have worked out that my photographic memory serves me well in this!! And now that I have finished acting school I am ready to jump in to this world of acting. (I’m still doing night classes and online classes).

I am an extremely hard worker and dedicate myself 150% to a task, hence how I have done so much with my life.

Being older and starting my acting career has worried me, most actors start training in their teens, having a massive head start on me. But, I am totally comfortable with who I am and loosing myself in a role, no matter where it takes me. I have no shame, (being a mum does that to you).



I love a yarn and telling stories, and I have a few to tell!!


I would love to meet you and have a yarn, who knows, I just might be perfect for the role you are casting!!
