Family have paid tribute to the sister of an Australian actor who was found dead after she went missing on the Gold Coast this week.<\/p>\n
Kym Mackinnon, 51, was found deceased at Mount Tamborine.<\/p>\n
She is the sister of McLeod\u2019s Daughter star Simmone Jade Mackinnon, 53.<\/p>\n
Her daughter, Rayne Johnsen, posted a touching tribute to her mum on social media.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you for raising me, teaching me discipline & diligence, driving me to dancing Monday to Friday after school for 15 years, the endless weekend road trips to Byron to visit good old aunty Maggie,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou taught me how to be an independent young lady and shaped me into the young woman I am today. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou always believed in me and in every dream and ambition I had. You made me believe that I could do anything, and you were always there cheering me on as I picked up yet another hobby or chased another dream.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo the showgirl, the dancer, the star.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou sure knew how to put on a show, both on stage and off.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police confirmed they were preparing a report for Coroner following the non-suspicious death of a woman at Tamborine Mountain.<\/p>\n
The Australian actor posted on social media that Kym was last seen on Guanaba Rd at Tamborine Mountain.<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you seen my sister?\u201d the post read.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease share this post especially if you are in Queensland.\u201d<\/p>\n
She described her sister as very slim with dark brown hair and eyes.<\/p>\n
Simmone Jade played Stevie Hall on the much-loved television series McLeod\u2019s Daughters from 2003 and 2009, and also starred as Allie Reese on Baywatch Hawaii from 1999 to 2000.<\/p>\n
She was nominated for several Logie Awards including the Gold Logie, most popular new talent and most popular actor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Family have paid tribute to the sister of an Australian actor who was found dead after she went…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":877383,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[444717,427971,447033,447045,393137,443547,390281,444716,444718,157394,447047,447040,397470,377075,430701,376610,444727,444732,447038,447042,64,444725,63,444709,29504,447,30765,192664,444723,447044,134,447048,444724,2582,39598,447035,444730,390206,378812,444721,447041,100692,13052,428094,447039,447043,384679,187436,1158,701,447032,20637,7452,444719,50403,32897,1314,47867,4031,444714,293186,447031,377914,447030,46675,427773,444726,447046,295305,447037,444720,34537,447036,376770,199184,24080,262638,30139,9119,447034],"class_list":["post-877382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-s-daughter-star-simmone-jade-mackinnon","tag-s-daughters","tag-s-daughters-star","tag-s-daughters-star-simmone-jade-mackinnon","tag-s-sister","tag-s-tribute","tag-15-years","tag-1999-to-2000-she","tag-2003-and-2009","tag-157394","tag-53-her-daughter","tag-a-desperate-search","tag-a-report","tag-a-show","tag-a-touching-tribute","tag-a-woman","tag-allie-reese","tag-an-australian-actor","tag-an-independent-young-lady","tag-another-dream","tag-au","tag-aussie-tv-star","tag-australia","tag-baywatch-hawaii","tag-byron","tag-celebrities","tag-coroner","tag-dancer","tag-dark-brown-hair","tag-discipline-diligence","tag-entertainment","tag-every-dream-and-ambition","tag-eyes-simmone-jade","tag-family","tag-friday","tag-good-old-aunty-maggie","tag-guanaba-rd","tag-her-mum","tag-her-sister","tag-kym","tag-kym-mackinnon","tag-mcleod","tag-monday","tag-most-popular-actor","tag-most-popular-new-talent","tag-mount-tamborine-she","tag-my-sister","tag-newswire-news","tag-police","tag-queensland","tag-rayne-johnsen","tag-school","tag-search","tag-several-logie-awards","tag-showgirl","tag-sister","tag-social-media","tag-stage","tag-star","tag-stevie-hall","tag-tamborine-mountain","tag-tamborine-mountain-the-australian-actor","tag-the-dancer","tag-the-endless-weekend-road-trips","tag-the-gold-coast","tag-the-gold-logie","tag-the-much-loved-television-series","tag-the-non-suspicious-death","tag-the-post","tag-the-showgirl","tag-the-sister","tag-the-star","tag-the-young-woman","tag-this-post","tag-this-week","tag-today","tag-touching-tribute","tag-tragedy","tag-tribute","tag-yet-another-hobby"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/877382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=877382"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/877382\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/877383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=877382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=877382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=877382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
