Carmen was born in Marsaxlokk, Malta in 1946. She looks amazing for her age, don't you think?

 

Carmen travelled to Australia with her parents and siblings when she was 16 years old. She met the love of her life Joey at a dance. Joey boldly approached Carmen whilst she was dancing with another man, and said "Joey and Carmen go together like birds of a feather ta"! Carmen responded, "How you know I love birds"? Carmen knew instantly he was the one.

 

Together they have two children, six grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Carmen loves life, her family, making pastizzi, cleaning, the bingo and the clubs. Carmen loves making people laugh, her motto in life is; "You might as well laugh and have some fun, because one day we're all going in the ground ta"!

The fabulous character Carmen has been created by Australian actress Deborah Barrese.

 

Deborah has studied acting in Melbourne and Los Angeles, appearing in TV series, films, commercials, and voicing children's animated characters. Specialising in character work and accents, Deborah thrives on bringing life to any character.

​

Deborah grew up in Melbourne, Australia, with Maltese blood running strong through her veins. She gained inspiration from her parents and grandparents who were born in beautiful Malta. Having spent Summer vacations with family in Malta, Deborah loves the Maltese culture and traditions and has always found the Maltese humour hilarious, and from a young age began impersonating her grandparents at family events.

​

"I had no idea Carmen would be such a hit! The fact that I was able to bring joy to people during such a challenging time, motivated me to keep going and develop Carmen's character. To be honest, Carmen helped ME, as much as she helped others get through 2020".
