Early life

[edit]

For two years, from the age of seven, she lived in London, where she was a member of the Unicorn Theatre.[2] She was bullied for her Australian accent in her time there.[3]

After the family's return to Brisbane, the family participated in an Anti-Vietnam war demonstration, leading to their arrest.[3] She attended Twelfth Night Theatre Junior Workshop and in 1970, at the age of 11 and during the Captain Cook Bicentenary Celebrations, Thornton appeared before Queen Elizabeth II as Rosa Campbell-Praed in Looking Glass on Yesterday.[4] She was a student of noted theatre director, Joan Whalley.[5]

Career

[edit]

Film and television

[edit]

Through Twelfth Night Theatre, Thornton auditioned for Melbourne-based Crawford Productions who at the time, were scouting for talent interstate. She scored her guest professional job very soon afterwards at the age of 13, on Homicide. From there, the director recommended her for a guest part on Division 4.[2] She also guested on Matlock Police and Bluey, before accepting a recurring role on The Sullivans as Elizabeth 'Buffy' Turnbull in 1977.[6] She studied drama briefly at university, before moving to Sydney and then Melbourne to pursue her acting career, after deciding to learn her craft on the job.[2]

Thornton made her film debut as Wendy in the 1977 coming-of-age film The FJ Holden, directed by Michael Thornhill,[7] and in the same year as Maria in the film adaptation of Henry Handel Richardson's colonial Australian novel, The Getting of Wisdom, directed by Bruce Beresford.[8] In 1978, Thornton appeared in the Australian television sequel of the British comedy series Father, Dear Father in Australia[9] and Cop Shop.[6] The same year, she played Angela in the horror film Snapshot (aka The Day After Halloween) directed by Simon Wincer,[10] for which she was nominated for the 1979 Australian Film Institute Award for Best Actress in a Feature Film.[11]

The "Sigrid Factor"

[edit]

In his book The Big Shift, about changing Australian demographics and culture, Bernard Salt coined the term the "Sigrid factor" pointing out that Australian towns in which movies had been made featuring Thornton had prospered since that time.[36] More broadly he referred to changing Australian cultural values which were well reflected in the types of places in which Sigrid Thornton had acted: the Riverland during the 1980s All the Rivers Run and the coast in the 2000s SeaChange.

Personal life and advocacy

[edit]

Thornton is married to actor and director Tom Burstall, having first met when she was just 18.[37] Together they have two children.[38]

She is known for her work with World Vision, the Royal Children's Hospital, Vision Australia, Reach Foundation and other charitable causes.[39] She has lobbied successive governments to keep libraries open and to resource the Australian film and television industry. She has been appointed to several federal and state film bodies, including Film Victoria[12] and is involved in helping to sustain and develop the industry.[40]

In 2023 Thornton received a star on the Randwick Walk of Fame.[41]

On Anh’s Brush With Fame, Thornton recounted how her father Neil Thornton enlisted in the army, and was sent to Japan in 1945 as part of a clean-up force following the atomic bomb being dropped in Hiroshima. His exposure to radiation led to him being diagnosed with Neurasthenia, which saw him suffer from chronic pain in the last ten years of his life.[16]

In August 2024, Thornton's mother Merle Thornton died aged 93. Merle was a well known activist whom Sigrid looked up to. Sigrid said of her mother's passing that she was proud of her mother and everything she achieved.[42]

In 2025, while appearing on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, Thornton revealed that she had been diagnosed with ADHD, saying that it provided clarity.[43] On 11 February 2025, Thornton was eliminated from the jungle alongside Tina Provis.
