Early life and career


Rebecca Rigg was born in Sydney, New South Wales.[citation needed]

Her Australian television appearances include the television series Rafferty's Rules (in which she appeared as the daughter of the Magistrate, Michael Rafferty); and the ABC television movies Joh's Jury, Come In Spinner, and Naked. As well as a starring role in the Australian comedy television series Willing and Abel (in which she appeared as "Angela Reddy"). As a young girl she was also in the Australian film Fortress, which was about the kidnapping of a teacher (played by Rachel Ward) and a small class of students. She appeared in the television miniseries Emma: Queen of the South Seas.

She has made guest appearances in other Australian television series, including her brief recurring role of troubled teen Gabe in A Country Practice, The Flying Doctors, G.P., Blue Heelers and Winners.

Rigg had a role as Nurse Amy as part of the Mr Bad storyline on hugely popular Australian soap E Street, playing the girlfriend of her real-life boyfriend at the time, and future (ex) husband, Simon Baker.

After the birth of her youngest son, Rigg retired from acting to be at home with her children.[citation needed] She has then returned to acting to appear in the films Ellie Parker and Fair Game with Naomi Watts. She also guest starred alongside her husband in The Mentalist episode "A Dozen Red Roses".


Personal life


Rigg married Simon Baker in 1998 after five years together, and they have three children, Stella, Claude, and Harry. They moved to Los Angeles in 1996, went to Sydney in 2005, but returned soon after to reside in the United States.[1][better source needed] Rigg and Baker separated in April 2020.[2]
