Lena Zavaroni: The Forgotten Child Star
A powerful story of a singing sensation, soon better known as Britain’s first high-profile anorexic. A tale of raw talent, parental love and the brutal machinery of fame.
Lena Zavaroni was a child superstar, barnstorming the charts, sharing the stage with Sinatra, and performing for the US president, all before her 11th birthday. But her light was dimmed too soon by a battle with anorexia.
Told from the perspective of her 84-year-old father, Victor, this
poignant story reflects on parental regret as he seeks peace with his daughter's untimely fate.
