Tempany Deckert has been performing since she was ten years old. She
trained at a youth theatre in Melbourne for six years and then hit the
'Big Apple' for her adult training. Her acting experiences have taken
her on many adventures. At ten years of age, she began acting
professionally in film, television and theatre. At sixteen years of
age, she scored a lead role in Australia's hugely popular TV show, Home
and Away.
Becoming a household name as a child star opened many doors for
Tempany. Not only was she carving a great path for her acting career,
she was also modelling for photo shoots, presenting TV shows and major
events, travelling all over the country and the world for publicity
appearances and last but not least, starting her adult career
surrounded with many talented and famous people.
While living in New York City at 19 years of age, Tempany was trained
by some of the best theatre actors in the world. All of her acting
experiences have begun to seep out in her best-selling series of novels
for Scholastic Books Australia, Shooting Stars (4 volumes published so
far).
