Early life
Born Melanie Ann Weston, West was raised in Woodend. She attended Woodend Primary School and eight high schools because her family followed her stepfather's engineering work around the country. West began performing in front of family and friends at an early age. In 1992, she entered the New South Wales Talented Child Drama Ensemble and later studied at Swinburne University of Technology, Tamworth Conservatorium of Music, and Riverina Drama Ensemble.
Personal life
West was engaged to Shopping for Love co-host Pete Lazer, before entering into a relationship with Shannon Bennett, a restaurateur, in 2005. The couple have six children together; Phoenix (born December 2005), Hendrix (born April 2008), Xascha (born July 2010), Xanthe (born 2012) and twins, Xalia and Margaux (2014). West commented that the Xs in the names did not start out as intentional. In September 2018, West confirmed that she and Bennett had separated, but were "striving to reconnect as friends and parents."
West has been in a relationship with environmentalist Maximo Bottaro since 2020, after meeting him while volunteering at his organisation ReForest Now.
In July 2002, West was hit by a bus in Sydney. The actress was also robbed while she was unconscious. She needed reconstructive plastic surgery and had to be written out of Neighbours but returned to the show a month later.
Career
West, who began a degree in law at Deakin University, postponed her studies indefinitely until she switched to acting. The Australian Drug Foundation granted West the 'Be Your Best' Achievement Award in 1999. Arsenic and Old Lace, Night Reflections, Theatre in the Raw, Bye Birdie, and Snow Queen are among West's amateur theatre credits.
In 1999, West became Dee Bliss, a member of Neighbours. She was nominated for the "Most Popular New Female Talent" Logie Award two years ago. It was announced in March 2003 that West would leave Neighbours after her deal came to an end. In early April, she shot her last scenes.
In 2008, West appeared in a crime drama underbelly as Danielle McGuire. In 2011, she appeared on Winners & Losers in Deidre Gross's recurring role. Due to being heavily pregnant with her third child, West previously refused to appear on the show.
Dimity appeared in two House Husbands films in 2013. In the Underbelly spin-off film Fat Tony & Co., West reprised her role as Danielle McGuire. Tony Mokbel, who also appeared in the original series but not played by Robert Mammone, is the subject of the series.
West returned to Neighbours in 2017 to play Andrea Somers, a lookalike who posed as Dee Bliss. Erica Jones, a television presenter on The Wrong Girl, has also appeared as the host of The Wrong Girl. Six Under Eight was published in March of that year, and West has since released Lily D.V.A.P., a series of children's books.
