Kym Valentine (born May 24, 1977 in Blacktown, New South Wales) is a Maltese-Australian actress best known for her portrayal of Libby Kennedy in the soap opera Neighbours.

Valentine began her acting career in a McDonald's fast food advertisement at age five. Her television appearances have included My Two Wives, Adult Illiteracy, At Bathurst, Candid Camera, Brides of Christ, Home and Away, Swap Shop, Hoops TV and Cheez TV. In 1994, at age 17, she joined the cast of Neighbours, and remained on the show until 2004. In June 2007, Valentine rejoined the soap on a permanent basis.

She has also done stage and pantomime work. In 2005 she took the lead role of Baby in Dirty Dancing: The Classic Story on Stage (the stage version of Dirty Dancing) at the Sydney Theatre. She was set to reprise her role when the production moved to London's West End from summer 2006 but did not get the part after an audition, despite having played the role at Sydney's Theatre Royal.

Valentine was married to singer Fabio Tolli, but they split in 2007. They have a daughter Millana Valentine-Tolli.[1]

Valentine attended Arthur Phillip High School in Parramatta before moving to Melbourne to take up her role as Libby on Neighbours.

In July 2008 Valentine contracted pneumonia, and suffered a collapsed lung on a flight from New York to Melbourne causing her to pass out. The cabin crew gave the star oxygen during the flight and when she arrived in Melbourne was taken to hospital for further treatment. She stayed in hospital for several days before recuperating at home.[2][3]

On August 10 2008 it was reported that Kym has had to pull out of her role in Neighbours in order to complete her recovery process. Fellow actress Michala Banas of McLeod's Daughters fame will take over the role for a month. [4]
