Emily Hamilton

Daughter of actor Vincent Ball, of Chittaway Point, New South Wales, Australia, Hamilton was born in Hammersmith, London, and grew up with her mother in Ealing, West London, where she attended Notting Hill & Ealing High School GDST. While at school, she appeared in a regular photo story for the teen magazine My Guy.
