PIA MIRANDA 'I DIDN'T WANT to upset anyone'

Pia Miranda wants you to know she's so much more than the girl who played Josephine Alibrandi. While the Melbourne-born actress will be forever grateful for her star-making lead role in Looking for Alibrandi, she's achieved so much since the film's release in 2000.

Not only has Pia continued to act, she's competed on numerous reality shows - even winning Survivor in 2019! Now, she's penned her first book, Finding My Bella Vita. Pia says the moving memoir details the "peaks and troughs" of her journey so far.

"I'm excited but I think it's natural to be nervous," Pia reveals as we catch up just days before her book hits shelves. "I'd probably be worried if I wasn't."

There are a "few things" in the book that Pia was anxious about including, namely "some of the family stuff". But she explains she was "really careful" to check in with those mentioned, to ensure they were happy with the stories she was sharing.
