Ada Nicodemou was born on May 14, 1977, in Auburn, Sydney, Australia, of Greek Cypriot descent. Her parents were migrants who met in Australia. She grew up in Minto and attended The Grange Public School, while also training at the Johnny Young Talent School in singing, dancing, and acting. Nicodemou began her professional acting career in 1994, at the age of 16, by securing the role of Katerina Ioannou in the ABC1 series “Heartbreak High.” Initially contracted for 12 weeks, her role was extended, marking her first significant television milestone. Following this, she joined the cast of “Police Rescue” in 1995 as Anastasia “Ana” Skouras and also had a prominent role in Network Ten’s “Breakers.”
In 1999, Nicodemou appeared in the science fiction film “The Matrix” as Dujour. The following year, she began her enduring role as Leah Patterson in the Australian soap opera “Home and Away.” Her initial audition for a different role in the series in 1992 was unsuccessful, but she was later offered the role of Leah without an audition, signing a six-month contract that was subsequently extended due to her performance. She has continued in this role for over two decades, making her one of the show’s longest-serving actors. In 2005, she won the third season of “Dancing with the Stars” alongside her partner Aric Yegudkin. Her television presence expanded in 2012 when she hosted Channel Seven’s reality series “Please Marry My Boy.” She reprised her role in “Dancing with the Stars: All Stars” in February 2021 with Yegudkin.
Beyond acting, Nicodemou has ventured into writing, authoring two children’s books. Her first book, “Johnas The International Soccer Star,” was released in June 2018, inspired by her son. A second book, “Mia Megastar,” is slated for release in April 2024, loosely based on her journey to becoming an actress. She has also served as an ambassador for several charitable organizations since 2005, including the PixiFoto Foundation, which supports a Childhood Blindness Prevention program in Africa, Save our Sons for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and the National Breast Cancer Foundation. She also supports the Starlight Children’s Foundation and Make-A-Wish Foundation Australia, demonstrating her commitment to community involvement.
