Gayle and Gillian Blakeney

After begging their mother to take them to singing lessons, she finally agreed and this led them to various talent quests around South East Queensland.

In 1979 they decided to take the next step and auditioned for a lead role in a children's telemovie pilot called "Earth Patrol" starring Spike Milligan.

The sisters continued their career in 1980 when they appeared in a video clip for the Australian group The Monitors’ track "Singin' In The '80s", wearing make-up in the style of rock band Kiss.

[2] After parting with Stock Aitken Waterman, the Blakeneys made a brief return to Neighbours, eventually leaving the show in 1992.

[5][6] In 1994, the sisters moved to the United States (where they still reside today, as both call Los Angeles home)[7] to pursue acting roles, landing guest spots on various film and TV projects, such as playing ballerinas in Silk Stalkings.
