Bump actress Claudia Karvan breaks down over tragic family secret: 'I couldn't have prepared myself'


Claudia Karvan has opened up about her emotional experience filming the latest season of the SBS program Who Do You Think You Are?

Karvan said that making the show, which explores her family history in the UK and Cyprus, and includes stories of terrible hardship, had an important message for her. In the 1993 movie, Karvan plays a young Greek-Australian teacher called Christina who starts a controversial affair with high-school student Nick (Alex Dimitriades) after landing her first teaching job at a Melbourne school straight out of college. Her hugely successful career Down Under includes the hit comedy feature The Big Steal (1990) and the cult TV series The Secret Life of Us (2001-2003).
