Childhood
Isabelle Lucas was born in the Australian city of Melbourne. She was the daughter of Beatrice, a teacher for children with special needs, and a pilot Andrew. The latter was an Australian, but the mother of the future celebrity is of Swiss origin. Switzerland, as you know, is a country of several state languages. Therefore, Isabelle is fluent in not only English, but also in French and German. Her childhood was quite eventful. She lived in Cairns (Queensland), then in Switzerland, in the mother’s homeland, where she moved at the age of six, and even in such an exotic place as the Kakadu National Park near the Alligator River in the Northern Territory of Australia.

After school, Isabelle Lucas entered Saint Monica's College in Cairns to complete her education.

While still at school, the girl became interested in theater, so she attended drama courses at Victorian College and Queensland University of Technology.

For example, a Sydney talent search agent, Sydney Meissner, spread the rumor that he had discovered Isabelle Lucas “under the mango tree,” noticed her gift and gave her the opportunity to pursue a career.
The girl’s family claims that her meeting with the show manager was planned in advance. This happened at a time when she was on vacation in Port Douglas and decided at the same time to try her hand.
First successes
First, Isabelle Lucas passed the test for the role of Keith Hunter in the series "Home and On The Road." But producer Julia McGoran decided that this role does not suit her.

They tried to direct their boards to the dolphins to swim with them and prevent hunting. But fishing vessels surrounded them and forced them to turn back at first, and then they took a group of protesters aboard against their will. All participants were arrested and sent to the police station. Isabelle Lucas gave an interview on this subject and stated that because of economic benefits, the Japanese government is killing practically reasonable animals.
