Born in the sixties to the doyen of the Australian nightclub industry Brian Goldsmith and model, actress Rona Newton-john, Tottie, one of eight children was surrounded by colourful and creative influences. It’s no surprise Tottie was drawn to, and has been a part of the Australian performing arts industry or four decades.
With an eclectic career spanning music, film, television radio and theatre Tottie became one of the country’s best known and memorable entertainment personalities.
Tottie began her journey as a dancer but due to injury early in her career, turned her artistic expression to acting which unfolded into appearing on practically every iconic Australian TV show throughout the 80’s and 90s.
In 1986 Tottie and her brother Brett, founded girl group The Chantoozies who’s first hit single ‘Witch Queen’ reached gold & platinum status in Australia.
