Life and career
Anderson is the daughter of musician Greg Anderson and actress Lynda Keane.[1]
Anderson was one of E Street's original cast members when the show began in 1989. She played Claire Fielding, daughter of Elly (Penny Cook; Diane Craig) and David Fielding (Noel Hodda).[1] In 1992, when Anderson was 10 years old, producer Andrew Saw informed her mother that she was being released from her contract eight weeks early and would be written out of E Street.[1] Saw admitted that the writers were struggling to come up with storylines for Claire and decided to rest the character. Anderson filmed her final scenes in May 1992.[1]
After E Street, Anderson filmed a guest role in A Country Practice,[1] and a lead role in an episode of G.P..[2] In 1994, Anderson released her first music record called "Step Back (Peace Not War)".[3] The following year, she starred in the children's series Glad Rags as Lizzie Forbes.[4] She went on to appear in Search for Treasure Island and Ocean Girl.[5]
