The Wheeler Centre

There is hardly a more familiar face, or reminder of quintessential Australian adolescence, than that of Australian actor Pia Miranda. Her role as Josie in the cult classic film Looking for Alibrandi imprinted her in our hearts and minds in the 90s, but her story extends far beyond that iconic character. In her new memoir, Finding My Bella Vita, Miranda recalls the moments and people who have shaped her life. Sharing childhood tales from her Nonna, recounting her early pursuit of a ballet career, her unexpected entry into the world of acting, and her return to screens on Australian Survivor, Miranda explores the rollercoaster ride of fame, the challenges of real life, and the push and pull between her Italian heritage and Australian upbringing. Join Pia Miranda and host Jaclyn Crupi for a special Spring Fling event and be reminded of the power of embracing your true self.
