Early Life
Bindi Sue Irwin was born on July 24, 1998, in Buderim, Queensland, Australia. She grew up surrounded by animals at the Australia Zoo, raised by her father, Steve, and her mother, Terri Irwin. Bindi has a younger brother named Robert. She was given her first name after her father's favorite female crocodile at the Australia Zoo. Her middle name, Sue, is after a family dog who had passed away from cancer.
Irwin made her TV debut at the age of two, regularly appearing on her father Steve Irwin's TV shows. She also made an appearance in the 2002 film "The Wiggles: Wiggly Safari." Bindi is a dual Australian-American citizen. Tragically, her father was killed by a stingray in 2006 when Bindi was just eight years old. He had been filming the documentary "Ocean's Deadliest." At his funeral on September 20, 2006, she received a standing ovation for the eulogy she delivered in front of a crowd of over 5,000 people and a worldwide TV audience of over 300 million.
On-Screen Career
In 2007, Bindi hosted a documentary special about her father called "My Daddy, The Crocodile Hunter." She also became the presenter of a 26-episode program on Discovery Kids called "Bindi, the Jungle Girl." Steve Irwin had featured in many of the early shows before his death, whereafter production on the show was put on hold. At age eight, Bindi appeared on the cover of the Australian magazine "New Idea," making her the youngest person to have done so in the 104-year history of the publication. She began to appear on popular American talk shows like "The Ellen Degeneres Show," "Late Show with David Letterman," "Larry King Live," and others.
At this time, Irwin was becoming an all-around child star, producing a hip-hop album called "Trouble in the Jungle" and appearing on a kid's fitness DVD, where she performed with a group called Bindi Kidfitness. She starred in "Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove" as Kirra and appeared in the Canadian TV series "My Babysitter's a Vampire." Bindi presented awards in 2007 at the Kids' Choice Awards and at the Logie Awards. She appeared alongside her mother in 2007 in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
