Bec Cartwright was just 15 years old when she got her big break playing Hayley Smith Lawson on Home and Away and within weeks she was a household name.
For the next seven years she was on the show’s biggest stars before giving it all up to be a wife and mother.
Now raising three kids with her husband Lleyton Hewitt, Bec has never been happier, as she told The Weekly last month.
“There I was, working on Home and Away. I wasn’t looking for love. But you can’t plan these things and I look at my life and realise I couldn’t be more fortunate.”
