Pia Miranda has been a fixture on Australian screens for more than 25 years, winning Australian Survivor, starring in the TV series Mustangs FC, heading back to her Sicily homeland with Shaun Micallef, and now, co-hosting Recipe of the Year with Adam Liaw. But it's for her breakout role in the 2000 film, Looking For Alibrandi, that she is best known and most loved. In this episode, she talks with senior culture writer Karl Quinn about the ups and downs of a life lived so publicly, the online bullying she endured after winning Survivor, her diagnosis with the skin pigmentation condition vitiligo, her sometimes-ambivalent relationship with food, and the role that changed her life.
