The Living Room-1

Living Room presenter Amanda Keller is the artist’s subject on Anh’s Brush with Fame this week.

As he recently told TV Tonight, “Amanda Keller shares some melancholy moments in her life and it was just when I was painting her eyes, so it comes out.”

She’s one of Australia’s most beloved broadcasters and Anh is feeling the pressure to deliver an accurate portrait. Amanda’s an entertainer, expert at portraying a certain persona, but Anh’s challenge is to break through the showbiz exterior. They chat and laugh about Amanda’s early childhood where she yearned for both a pet and Barry Manilow.

However, Amanda also talks about some of the darker times in her life. From losing her friend at school to leukaemia; the death of a best friend’s child and her own struggles to have children through IVF. It shows a very vulnerable and emotional side to the quick-witted presenter that we rarely see and Anh’s painting turns out quite differently than he had planned…

8pm Wednesday on ABC.
