Belinda Emmett dead at 32

Actor Belinda Emmett, wife of Australian television personality Rove McManus, has died after a long battle with cancer.

She died at St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney, early this morning, with her husband by her side.

"It is with great sadness we advise that Belinda Emmett's battle with cancer has ended," Emmett's publicist and friend Maria Farmer said in a statement.

"Belinda passed away just after dawn this morning at St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney with her family and husband by her side.

"Those close to her have requested respect for their privacy at this time."

Emmett grew up on NSW's Central Coast and got her acting break when she appeared on popular long-running soap Home and Away, playing Rebecca Fisher, between 1996 and 1999.

She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998 at the age of 24.

The actor successfully underwent surgery to remove a malignant tumour, followed by six weeks of radiotherapy.

In 2001, Emmett was diagnosed with secondary bone cancer.

never got to see that era of the show, but I think that must be Don's daughter on the show? The longstanding principal who just left a couple years ago himself.

Yep that's correct. She played Rebecca Fisher, Don's daughter. She was a teacher at Summer Bay High - a music teacher I think, not too sure. She married Travis (Nic Testoni) and they sailed off into the sunset on his boat.

She also popped up in Australian medical drama All Saints (think ER) after she recovered from breast cancer the first time.
