IT’S a long long way between the glitz of Hollywood Boulevard and the streets of New Acton, but Canberra could very well star in a new reality television series in the US and Europe.

Parliament House and the National Art Gallery along with the familiar sights of Manuka’s Bougainville Street, Kingston’s Kennedy Street and the winter beauty of Corin Forest are being scouted by producers and Hollywood’s newest star, 22-year-old Australian Krystle McGill.

So what’s all the fuss about? Well, this young starlet originally from Sydney’s Northern Beaches and a regular Canberra visitor in her childhood, says the national capital is close to her heart and she’s keen to include it in her new show.

Who is Krystle? Well, according to Hollywood heavyweights such as Oliver Stone, Krystle is the next “it girl”, and has clearly impressed since taking her bubbly Aussie effervescence to the often mean streets of Beverly Hills. She is, according to star maker and agent Joey Sulfaro, a marketer’s dream in the vein of a Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian.

One minute with this strikingly beautiful Aussie is enough to see why her charm offensive is starting to pay dividends. She’s had Hollywood’s biggest actors singing to her on the red carpet, some even taking her microphone, and asking all about her. Krystle says many of her best experiences so far include nights spent with the likes of Adam Sandler chatting away about life, Lionel Ritchie arriving at her party for an impromptu version of “Happy Birthday”, and drinking sessions with Jack Nicholson.

It wasn’t always party dresses and cocktails though. Krystle has worked in radio and newspapers, and has recently completed a masters in journalism from the University of Sydney. Perhaps her meteoric rise has had much to do with being in the right place at the right time, and taking her opportunities. She is extremely well managed, and her “brand” has extended throughout the US and now into Europe.

There aren’t many Australian 22-year-olds who can claim to have their own fashion range. The fact she gets around with $10,000 donated handbags by some of the biggest names in the industry are testament she is the real deal. Keen to ensure it’s not all glitz and glamour without appreciation, Krystle has ensured she is seen to be giving something back, with ambassadorships with the Bully Zero Foundation, Touch of Goodness Foundation and Make a Wish Australia.

It will be exciting to watch this young Australian’s rise in the toughest and most competitive of commercial worlds and with a television show in the works, a growing fan base, clothing range and great Aussie attitude to match, Krystle McGill is living the dream.
