EXTRA: Bruna Papandrea on Hollywood, Lupus, and The Body Saying No
About this episode
Bruna Papandrea discusses the challenges of ambition in midlife and managing Lupus in a candid conversation.
Does ambition die in midlife, or are we just getting started? And what happens when your drive is as strong as ever, but your body is screaming stop ? You know Bruna Papandrea as an absolute powerhouse: a Hollywood super-producer who went from working-class Adelaide to becoming one of the most successful forces in Hollywood, bringing us massive hits like Big Little Lies and Gone Girl. But in this episode from the archives of MID, we're bringing you a different side of Bruna. In this conversation with Holly Wainwright, Bruna strips back the Hollywood glamour to talk about the complex reality of ambition, what it’s like to manage the invisible reality of Lupus, and the brutal hormonal flares that can happen when midlife hits. It’s honest, fast-paced, a little bit raw, and a chance to get to know this industry icon a whole lot better. This episode originally aired on MID.
