Megan: Schoolgirl to supermodel

By Angela Mollard

The catwalk star’s friends say she was just a big dag before catapulting to stardom.

With her Amazonian bronzed body and piercing green eyes, Megan Gale is one of Australia’s most successful models. She’s the multimillion-dollar face of David Jones and is dating one of the country’s most eligible bachelors.

What’s more, Megan, who last week met with Hollywood’s top casting agents in Los Angeles, is now tipped to be the hottest new Aussie export, thanks to her upcoming role as Wonder Woman in George Miller’s film Justice League Of America.

Turn back the clock 15 years, and Megan was working as a checkout operator in a Perth supermarket and floating around a suburban mall at weekends wearing a wedding dress and handing out pamphlets for a local bridal boutique.

From the ‘burbs

In fact, at one stage it looked like Megan was destined to end up as a suburban mum. Her friends recall that she fell in love easily and would dream about marrying her boyfriends, particularly confident, blond, good-looking Michael Dornan, who was a year ahead of her at school.
