Born 16 December 1964 Sydney, NSW Australia.
Georgie has a daughter named Holly with partner Steve Worland born November 2000. Georgie is the youngest of 3 children.
At age 13 George was diagnosed as having scoliosis or curvature of the spine. And had the misfortune of having a spine curvature of 42 degrees instead of an average of two degrees. She spent the next three years strapped into a fibreglass back brace to prevent the condition worsening.
Parker on winning the Gold Logie first time round:
"It was bizarre. I'd won a Logie before but it didn't create the same interest. There are 23 other awards given out on the night, but all the attention and all the pictures go on that one. I found it very interesting and I found it a bit confusing because I've been doing this [acting] in a spotlight way since I was 24 and I'm 37 now. It was like I'd suddenly reappeared in another form, you know? It was like, 'Oh, there you are'. It was weird."
Parker on questions regarding her private life:
"My job gets the attention, not the life I lead. I'm not a glamorous person, I don't have an outrageous lifestyle, you know, I don't get really pissed and I'm not fighting my way into clubs and I don't go to the opening of a door. That's not the way I lead my life. I'm just not interested in that sort of attention on my personal life."
Parker on school:
"I never did any homework, I was, I was…I was almost a congenital idiot as far as schoolwork was concerned. I couldn't rally any interest and I didn't know why. Abbotsleigh (a Sydney school) was good because it saw where your talent lay and the headmistress said 'OK, try your best at the other stuff, but just concentrate on that'. You didn't have to be good at things you weren't good at. Where your passion lies, concentrate at that. I was lucky to be at that kind of school. I was shocking at applying myself at things that didn't interest me. I still am."
Parker on her scoliosis:
"The whole brace thing, the scoliosis, which I still have, the notion of being confined? I wasn't at all. It was a challenge… my family was amazing, my friends were amazing, I was never ridiculed.I wasn't interested in boys, I wasn't desperate to go to parties, not interested in drinking. So it wasn't holding me back in that sense. I think it helped that I was a really confident person. I've always had a sense of self-belief. I'm not one who's prone to neurosis."
Parker on NIDA:
"I did the HSC, but I wasn't going to have anything to do with uni. I tried out for NIDA, twice I think, but I was not a mature 18-year-old and I wasn't suited to an institution at all. I tried it at school and it didn't suit me. It's invaluable for some people but it wouldn't have suited me."
Parker on starting out:
"You can be as talented as you want, but if you're not in the right room at the right time with the right people it's not going to happen. For some reason David (her agent) had a belief in me, he pushed me in the right direction, which was good because I'm not a very ambitious person, I don't have a drive, I don't want to be… I don't want to go to America."
