Staying grounded

“And then one day, when I made enough money, I just paid that whole mortgage off completely.”
Margot has said in the past that she will be ”eternally grateful” for Neighbours, the show that gave her a start.
“I owe so much to Neighbours,” she told The Sun.
“There are so many of us that owe [the show] for giving us a big break.
“It wasn’t just about giving me a break either. It gave me a real chance to work on my craft.
” It was the perfect training for Hollywood and I will always be eternally grateful.”
