Pia Miranda

Actress and Kindness Ambassador

For more than twenty-five years, Pia Miranda has been a household name, gracing screens big and small with her talent. From her iconic role in Looking for Alibrandi, she’s also won Survivor, sung in a mask, danced with the stars, had two children with a husband she adores, and released her memoir Finding My Bella Vita.

In this episode of Three Food Memories, Pia opens up about her experiences on set, from being pushed as a young actor to creating a safe space for those fresh to the industry. She also shares an “interesting” two-ingredient salad recipe, the origins of her surprising love of Melbourne Bitter, and fond memories of lining up with cousins à la Oliver Twist for her Nanna’s lamb shank soup.

Pia’s social cause is Dolly’s Dream, because as she says “Not everyone has the capacity to be resilient, what we should do is change our behaviour so everyone can feel included.”
