Pia Miranda 'I shut my mouth and I didn't say anything '

Pia Miranda is one of Australia's best-loved and critically acclaimed actors. Since bursting onto our screens in the much-loved film Looking for Alibrandi, Pia has become part of Australian film and television history, and a familiar face for generations of Alibrandi readers. Pia was also crowned the winner of one of the most-watched TV series in Australian history, Australian Survivor.  In this episode Jess and Pia dig deep on her close brush with Harvey Weinstein and the famous Aussie actress that protected her, why she didnt want a part of Hollywood after being told shed need cosmetic surgery to make it, and how winning Survivor not only changed her as a person, but other peoples perception of her. Pia has recently released her memoir, Finding My Bella Vita,a funny and moving tale of trying to find yourself.
