Bec Hewitt

Rebecca "Bec" June Hewitt (née Cartwright) (born July 23, 1983 in Blacktown, New South Wales) is an Australian actress and singer.

Background

Hewitt is known for her acting career, as Rebecca Cartwright in "Police Rescue", "Heartbreak High", "Water Rats" and "Totally Wild"; though, she is best known for her role as Hayley Smith in the soap opera "Home and Away". Although professionally known as Bec Cartwright during her music career, it was her marriage to Australian tennis player Lleyton Hewitt that finally changed her name to Bec Hewitt.

Career

Hewitt starred in an episode of "Police Rescue" in 1992, at the age of 9. She came to prominence when she joined the cast of the Seven Network's soap opera "Home and Away" in 1998, playing Hayley Smith Lawson. Hewitt remained on the show until August 2005. Although she left the show, her character did not and Ella Scott Lynch took over the role of Hayley.

In 1999 Hewitt was nominated for a Silver Logie for "Most Popular New Talent".

She released an album in 2003 that featured three successful singles.

Hewitt won the first series of the Australian series "Dancing with the Stars" in 2004.

Hewitt won the Logie for "Most Popular Actress" in 2005, an award for which she was also nominated in 2006 along with the Gold Logie for "Most Popular Personality".

In November 2006, she returned to TV for "Abba Mania". Many Australian artists participated in this programme, and the show was broadcast on Channel Nine.

After leaving "Home and Away" in 2005, Hewitt had written articles for the magazine "Woman's Day".

Personal life

Bec dated Australian actor Beau Brady for four years (2000-2004) prior to beginning her relationship with tennis star Lleyton Hewitt. After 6 weeks of dating, Lleyton proposed to Bec and on 5 May 2005, the pair announced that Bec was pregnant.

Hewitt and Cartwright married on 21 July 2005. The wedding was at the Sydney Opera House and their reception took place at Taronga Zoo, and was given much media attention. Fellow actors and friends Ada Nicodemou and Kate Ritchie were bridesmaids for Bec.

On 29 November 2005, she gave birth to daughter, Mia Rebecca Hewitt, at Sydney's North Shore Private Hospital. Mother and daughter now travel with Lleyton as he plays tennis all over the world.

In June 2008 it was announced that the couple are expecting their second child in January 2009, during the time of the Australian Open, after much speculation.
