Can you guess which former Home and Away star is pictured in this childhood photo?

This actress has a very rocky relationship with Australian media outlets for constantly highlighting Home and Away as her breakout role.

The star who has appeared in The Good Wife, Alias and Grey’s Anatomy, secured her first Golden Globe nomination for best supporting actress.

On Tuesday, the 41-year-old shared a sweet photo from her childhood posing for the camera in pigtails.

Do you recognise which Aussie star it is?

The little girl in the photo is none other than Melissa George.

Addressing her followers on social media, Melissa wrote, “Baby Georgie girl (me).”

As well as securing various roles across TV and film, Melissa is also a parent to her two sons – Raphael, 3, and Solal, 2.

Melissa previously made headlines after criticising the Australian media for constantly referencing her role as Angel Brooks in Home and Away.

She said the focus on her early television career caused her so much stress that she was unlikely to live in Australia again.

“I don't need credibility from my country any more, I just need them all to be quiet. If they have nothing intelligent to say, please don't speak to me anymore,” she said in an interview with The Sun Herald five years ago.

“I'd rather be having a croissant and a little espresso in Paris or walking my French bulldog in New York City.”

She gave the interview shortly after her Golden Globe nomination for the 2009 series In Treatment. 

"I've got to be honest. I'm not going to be a good Aussie anymore. I'm going to speak out. I've just had it," she added.
