Biography
Leeanna's family include her dad Bob, a real estate agent, and mum Elaine, who works with her son David in their importing and wholesaling business.
Leeanna on leaving school at 16: "The day I told my parents that I didn't want to go on to year 12. I had this big speech prepared because I thought they'd scream and shout about me making the biggest mistake in the world. I never liked school and although learning is interesting to me, it got to the point where I just refused (to learn) because I didn't like my surroundings. I'd always forget my homework and never hand anything in on time. I was over it all, I just wanted to get out there and act. Mum and Dad said it was fine with them, as long as I made a promise to pursue it and not sit at home and do nothing, and I did, and I am."
