Biography
As a child, Meg Douglas was a self-confessed "little performer" who loved dancing and being on stage. Her first television appearances came at age 13: she roller skated for a commercial, and reported for children's show Kidsworld. Although Douglas loved being in front of the camera, in her early 20s she left the spotlight to work behind the scenes.
