Adelaide Kane Biography

Adelaide Kane, born 9 August 1990 is an actress from Claremont, Western Australia. She became the third actress to play Lolly Allen in the Network Ten soap opera Neighbours, having won the role through a series of auditions promoted as a competition in Dolly Magazine. She appeared in the October 2006 issue of Dolly alongside fellow winner Sam Clark (Ringo). She first appeared on-screen on 25 January 2007.

Kane, at age 16, left her year 11 class at St Hilda's Anglican School for Girls in the Perth suburb of Mosman Park to move to Melbourne where Neighbours is produced. When Kane's initial three-month contract expired, the Neighbours producers renewed her contract for a further 3 months, but she then left the show.

The character of Lolly was born in 1994, meaning Kane is nearly four years older than Lolly should be on her return, but Neighbours, like many other soap operas, adopts a flexible approach to characters' ages.

Kane's favourite character on Neighbours is Harold Bishop (portrayed by Ian Smith).
