Claudia Karvan, at the age of 50, is currently receiving positive reviews for her first stage performance in 25 years. She is also working on a new season of the award-winning TV show Bump, which she co-created, co-produces, and stars in.

Karvan has been in the limelight since her debut in movies at the age of ten. However, behind the scenes of her successful career, Claudia has been managing a sometimes chaotic family life.

Claudia talks candidly about growing up around her mother and stepfather’s King Cross nightclub and her transition from a child actor to an adult star. She also discusses her family’s mental health issues and speaks publicly for the first time about her difficult relationship with her biological father, who passed away last year.

In this episode, Claudia’s daughter, Audrey Karvan-Sparks, her former partner, Jeremy Sparks, her stepfather, Arthur Karvan, her friend and actor, Justine Clarke, and producer and collaborator, John Edwards, also talk about their experiences with Claudia.

Today, Claudia says that she has never felt more calm or happier.
