The global interest in Aussie pop star Kylie Minogue has exploded over the last week, with a new 3-part documentary series dropping on Netflix. The series tracks her long and storied career - from her beginnings as an actor and soap star, to her many successful albums and reinventions, to her status now as an artist still releasing #1 singles.
