Can any one else believe it about Belinda Emmet?

Question

Ex-Soapy Star and wife of Rove died this morning of bone cancer in Sydney

Answer 1

I didn't know, this is the first I heard of it. That's just awful, poor Rove. They seemed a really well-matched couple, too.

Too sad. And on Remembrance Day as well.

Answer 2

Ignore the sad lonely loser of a person who has given thumbs down to almost every question; Such a bitter waste of a human being they must be.

I'm pretty sad about Belinda - She was and is always going to be such an inspiration to people fighting cancer, she defied the odds quite a few times. She knew her time was limited and was quoted as saying something such as " it wasn't a matter of if- it was a matter of when. My thoughts are not only with Rove, but all her family, her friends, her fans and cancer battlers and survivors.
Rest now Belinda x

Answer 3

Yes I heard but I don't want to believe it.I loved watching her on home & away & all saints she was a great actress with alot of potential.My condolenses to Rove & all her family in such a sad time as she was very young (32)

Answer 4

Its very sad, but i dont think they would put it on the news if it wasnt true. Heres some info:

Emmett was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998, aged 24. She temporarily left her role as Rebecca Fisher/Nash on Home and Away (during which time the part was played by Megan Connolly) and underwent surgery to remove a malignant tumour, followed by six weeks of radiotherapy. She left the cast of Home and Away the following year and went on to appear in nine episodes of All Saints as Jodi Horner between 2000 and 2001. In 2001 she was also diagnosed with secondary bone cancer.

In 2002 she told Australian Women's Weekly that "It wasn't a matter of if, it was a matter of when. The little bastards were going to get me. It was a weird sensation, almost an out-of-body experience. I don't think I'll ever be able to explain it." In an interview with Charles Wooley on 60 Minutes that same year, she said:

"I think people underestimate the power that they have within themselves, I really do, and I think these kinds of challenges, they force you to look that little bit deeper and see what you're really made of. I always knew I was pretty strong. I've always been pretty gutsy and pretty ballsy, but I think I surprised myself this time around."

On 11 November 2006 it was reported that she had lost her battle with cancer and died that morning, just after dawn, at St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney.

Prime Minister John Howard said he and Mrs Howard were saddened by Emmett's death. "She fought a very courageous battle against cancer," Howard said. "On behalf of Janette and myself, I extend my deepest sympathies to her husband, Rove McManus, and her family and friends." Opposition Leader Kim Beazley also passed on his sympathies. "This is truly sad news which I think will affect all Australians," Beazley said. "The tenderness and care in their relationship (Rove and Belinda) through their adversity, I think, has been an inspiration to many, many Australians."
