Mandy Smith Biography

Mandy Smith (born Amanda Louise Smith on July 17, 1970) is an English dance-pop singer, former model and aspiring actress.

In 1983, as a 13-year old, she started dating 47-year-old Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman. The two married in 1989 and divorced in 1991.

The press coverage that surrounded these affairs largely contributed to Smith`s career as a singer. In 1987 at 17 she was signed to PWL by Stock Aitken Waterman. The SAW team wrote and produced her first two singles - "I Just Can`t Wait" and "Positive Reaction". Collaboration with Daize Washbourne brought another single, "Boys and Girls" (which reached No. 8 in South Africa). Despite the lack of British chart success with these singles, an album, Mandy, was released in 1988. Mandy Smith was successful in Scandinavia, Germany, Italy, Spain, Turkey and Japan, where she entered the Top 10 music chart.

She was about to launch her career in the United States in 1989 with her single "Victim Of Pleasure" released under Atlantic Records but due to health problems, she had to cancel the promotion. The same happened with her fifth European single, a cover of the Human League hit single "Don`t You Want Me Baby". These events and a difficult recovery marked the end of her short musical career though several remixes of "I Just Can`t Wait" appeared in the early 1990s; her album was also re-released in Japan in 1993.

She also recorded the original version of "Got To Be Certain," which would later be the second international single release for fellow PWL act, Kylie Minogue. Minogue`s version was a number one hit in Australia and number two in the UK. Smith`s remained unreleased until 2005 when it was premiered on PWL Radio and included on the 2005 release Stock Aitken Waterman Gold as a bonus track. Smith`s lyrics differ slightly from Minogue`s, yet the backing music and production are virtually identical.

During the 1980s and 1990s Smith appeared in TV series and shows. She appeared in magazines as a model. On 19 June 1993 she married footballer Pat Van Den Hauwe, but this only lasted two years. In 2001 she was briefly engaged to Ian Mosby with whom she had a son, Max Harrison Mosby.

She published her biography It`s All Over Now in 1994.

Smith was named "Rear of the Year" in Britain in 1994, award for her posterior. In 1995, she was 72nd in FHM`s list of "100 Sexiest Women in the World".
