She was the host of Channel Seven’s children’s show Agro’s Cartoon Connection in the mid 1990s.
But Terasa Livingstone looks completely unrecognisable in recent photos posted to Instagram.
The popular children’s host has swapped out her flaxen locks for a playful shade of pink, but her trademark effervescent smile has not changed a day.
Before moving to the US in 2000, Terasa was quite a fixture on Australian TV screens.
Kicking off her career as a roving reporter for Agro’s Cartoon Connection, Terasa eventually took over co-hosting duties from Ann-Maree Biggar in 1995.
Following her stint on the long-running kids show, Terasa was a reporter for Seven’s The Great Outdoors.
She also co-hosted the short-lived singing reality show It Takes Two, as well as posing in men’s magazines FHM and Inside Sport.
These days, Terasa is no less busy, working as a casting producer for America’s Got Talent as well as running her own relationship, mindset and empowerment coaching business Eden World.

In 2014, she married fellow Aussie actor Wil Traval, who is best known as Dr Jack Quade from iconic hospital drama All Saints and Will Simpson on the Netflix superhero Drama Jessica Jones.
Speaking to New Idea this week, Terasa revealed that she and Wil were keen to move back to Australia, but there was a little four-legged road block in their way.
She admitted that the couple’s beloved 14-year-old Chihuahua Ruby cannot fly in a regular plane’s cargo hold due to a heart condition and they were on the lookout for a ‘magical generous benefactor with a jet.’

‘I can’t leave her behind – she’s our daughter,’ Terasa told the publication.
‘Ruby and Mildred – our other dog who we sadly lost in January – were the babies Wil and I had when we found out we couldn’t have children.’
‘But I miss my mum and dad, and my family, but I can’t have both.’
Speaking to the Gold Coast Bulletin in 2020, Terasa revealed that she and Wil had been forced to sleep with an axe to protect themselves from the wild rioting engulfing Los Angeles following the George Floyd protests.
‘From Saturday night, just for precautions, we have slept on the couch by the door with an axe and a crowbar,’ she told the publication.

Terasa admitted to breaking curfew to film the wild scenes near her house – which she slammed for ‘overshadowing the actual problem’.
‘The riots and looters came right to our doorstep. Explosions at our corner. Bats, hammers, rocks. We had to get out with our cameras and onto our streets, to see this moment and feel it for ourselves,’ she wrote on social media at the time.
‘The people we saw looting, smashing and breaking into stuff were black, white, Asian, young girls and boys, Latinos… everyone.
‘These guys are different. They are overshadowing what the actual problem is, which is really sad.’
