- Claudia Karvan has spoken of her chaotic upbringing before. But one relationship was off limits, until now
At 50, actor and producer Karvan is at the peak of her powers. She’s currently getting rave reviews for her first stage performance in 25 years and is 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 public eye since her first movie at the age of 10.
But behind the scenes of her long and successful career, Karvan has also been managing a sometimes chaotic family life.
A remarkably candid Karvan talks about growing up around her mother and stepfather’s King Cross nightclub and her transition from childhood actor to adult star.
She also reveals the mental health issues in her family and speaks publicly for the first time about her difficult relationship with her biological father, who died last year.

Actor Claudia Karvan, what nationality is he?
I truly think she’s amazing and have for years and years. Definitely drawn to her and will always watch anything she’s been in or is in. This was really wholesome in a way too. What a life. What a soul.
Absolutely love her. She's genuine, joyful, intelligent, beautiful and brilliant in every role.
She is glorious. I love how she is really present with people.
Exaggerating a bit. She isn’t that good at all
She is such an authentic ,down to earth and well grounded individual. Her children have a wonderful role model to look up to.
did not want this episode to finish, i knew i loved her for a reason.
The most expressive eyes when she talks, no put on there, just telling the truth, making it a fantastic expose on her life. Well done.
I've always loved watching Claudia's acting, and every time i get another glimpse into who she really is I admire her even more.
Terrific episode. I didn't realise how much emotional chaos Claudia had grown up in. She's always seemed mature for her age. Now I know why 😊 I think we're lucky Hollywood wasn't for her. We get to call her our own!
She isn’t good enough for Hollywood😂
This genuinely feels like mine, my father and my brothers relationship. So much more to say but also very little needs to be said for anyone who understands. For those who don't understand, just be kind and give them some room but let them know they can call upon you ANYTIME. What beautiful humans. Thank you for this interview.
I get you 💚

God i love Claudia since i was about 12/13 years old. She is truly one of Australia's greatest actors and i must admit when she left secret life of us the show went down hill as her presence was very much missed. She is such a down to earth and wonderful person ❤
Love My Way, huge part of my philosophical journey into dulthood. . Claudia is a wonderfully warm and gifted woman...Relieved 😄
I've Loved Claudia & her talent since the first day I saw her on screen. Anything she's in I will always watch & Love. ❤❤❤
I used to live in Australia and I first recall seeing Claudia on The Heartbreak Kid. Things might not have been comfortable for her in terms of adapting to a Hollywood lifestyle, as she said. However, she is a far better actress than some of her other, more celebrated compatriots I reckon.
She is stellar isn’t she. I’ve loved her work forever. Look how gorgeous and natural this woman is!!!
Claudia Karvan had me at High Tide. Her performance was authentic, soulful and thoroughly charming. And her chemistry with Judy Davis must have made gifted director Gillian Anderson do a happy dance. This post was a delight to find. Thank you.
Her likeability factor is through the roof. Very natural and very positive person on and off screen.
She's always been fabulous- I just didn't know in how many ways.
What an amazing woman she comes across as really real and authentic. And I absolutely loved The Secret Life of Us !. Twas such a great series
OMG I love Claudia Karvan for decades now...
I saw her at a Q & A at Fox studios in Sydney after a screenwriting seminar. She was not forthcoming or generous with any of her answers. It was disappointing as I had always loved her work and her being in general. This episode shows her generosity and warmth, her kindness and openness. Maybe she was having a bad day, or I just supposed she was heavily introverted and didn't like to talk but wondered why she would agree to be a guest. I always wanted to be friends with her and now I know why. Despite her difficult childhood and lack of parental figures she was blessed to meet influential people through her work who would see her talent and champion her intelligence. I love her beauty and her maternal nature. She is gorgeous inside and out.
I’ve met her twice ..couldn’t be nicer ! Lovely lovely person!
Just finished watching Spirited!! I LOVED that show!!!!! Was super sad it ended after the second season.
Love love love Claudia! Love everything she's done. She's just so beautiful
Brilliant actress “Love My Way” made me sit up and think who is this Claudia Karvan woman! One of my favourite Aussie series Claudia’s performance was outstanding!
Proof you never know what goes on in other peoples lives, no matter how "famous" & "happy" they appear. Claudia is a bloody good egg.
I so enjoyed this. Thank you Claudia….what a woman! 🌹
This just gave me 100 more reasons to love her.
Claudia, I'm a huge fan 😘 love watching you acting 🤩 can't wait to see what's ahead 👍
What an amazing soul, timeless beauty. Could you imagine her and Justine Clarke as house mates!!
Really enjoyed the reality and the humility shown here which you wouldn't get in a couple of years watching any of the pay TV channels.
Love it. Great Australian!
A woman with
a lot of integrity and inner strength
Hi Claudia, Thank you for promoting PNG Bilum in your story , the Bilum matches your style!💙
She is an amazing, actress, young, or old. I found spirited, and I really love that show beautiful things in the show that I realize came from somebody’s wonderful brain.
What an incredible woman.
Wow what an amazing lady I did not know her . Strange Hollywood movies dominated Europe for long time. would love to watch some of her films and productions.
This was a truley inspirational watch
She's a talented and deep girl. Inspiring for me
Loved this.
My biggest teenage crush, and she's still as beautiful as she was 30 years ago
Sure doesn't age!! Remarkable
Love this women!
Love Claudia, shes ageless too 😍
An inspiring human being. I wish she had been asked about Spirited - such a great show.
She is lovely
Love everything I've seen involving her.
She’s an inspiration 😍
She's a brilliant actor.
I love her❤❤
Really good actress
I ♥ Bump
Rupert Karvan,whilst getting help with assistance of his sister, unfortunately his boarding house is not what it seems. Many owners behave like they care for the mentally challenged, however it is more of a case of taking advantage of NDIS to boost their profits.Rupert is so sweet but has expressed he wants more from his life as he knows the boarding house does not meet his desire to improve and he has zero friends there,spends most of his time alone and expressed his desire to write/speak better and to find ways to no longer talk to himself He is very proud of his sister and he is a people pleaser. He loves music and for now could do with tv or music in his room. Without change though he sees no future for himself.He really wants to engage with people, however not in that environment and am angered by people taking advantage for pure profit and pretending to care and he would enjoy having ability to talk clearly with his mum and Arthur in Bali. I do worry for him as he deserves so much better
A v interesting lady
Go Aussie ❤
A great Gal!
Such a huge crush on her when I saw the Big Steal in my teenage years. ❤
Mate. Same. I was 17 in 1990 when that came out. :-)
It's hard not to like her.
I've always had a crush on her since the early 90's when I first saw her in that Erotic Tales episode before she made it huge.
I still have my pirated copy of High Tide with Claudia and Judy Davis on the Cover.
❤
🎉🎉🎉
Actor Claudia Karvan, what nationality is he?
She is Australian ❤
Never heard of her or seen any of her work.
I was the oldest of 6 children
I normally like this program. But I have a problem with glorifying mediocrity.
What was the point of this comment? Have a think about the needless hate you're putting out into the world, mate.
I don't know why I should feel so strongly about your remark but I do. Claudia is being honoured for her service and considerable contribution to the dramatic arts, over a period of 4 decades. Apart from her public love, she has considerable admiration and respect from her contemporaries. Its years since I lived in Oz, yet Love My Way had a profound impact on me. So, you are entitled to your opinion , as we all are, yet for some, reason, the under current of your comment seems rather bitter..hmm just an observation.
What would you rather have glorified? To think that there is anything more desirable than an ordinary, caring life is a modern day sickness of the spirit.
Claudia is such an inspiration to me. What an amazing human
