Tandy spent her childhood and early teenage years in hot Africa. According to the artist, her mother, whose lineage is associated with the Shona people, has the title of princess. After the Newtons moved to London, Tandy went to boarding school, where she studied ballet. The fragile girl dreamed of "Swan Lake" and the career of a prima ballerina.

In the career of a dancer, she had to give up after receiving a back injury. However, the hand of fate arranged everything as it should be: the young ballerina, with a wave of a "magic wand" in the hands of the Australian director John Daigan, turned into an actress, which she never regretted.

Daigan was looking for a suitable girl for the role of the heroine of the drama "Flirt", and the dark-skinned Tandy Newton was just the way, because the girl was to play the daughter of an African teacher who fell in love with a bully. The director also invited Nicole Kidman to play the main role in the film. Flirting was released in 1991 and instantly turned both actresses into rising stars.
