A Bold Life: Kerri-Anne Kennerley

The Morning Show

Updated 30 October 2017 at 6:12 pm

Kerri-Anne Kennerley is Australia’s queen of television. But behind the glamour of a public life is a private woman. And a survivor.

A Bold Life is the tale of a Queensland girl who chased her dreams. It’s the journey of a unique and driven woman who built a remarkable 50-year career in one of the most fickle and male-dominated industries of all, and instigated some of the most iconic moments in Australian television history along the way.

Yet away from the spotlight Kerri-Anne has stared down a series of personal crises with grace and dignity, the latest in 2016 when a freak fall left John, her devoted husband of 33 years, a quadriplegic. On their long road to recovery Kerri-Anne found herself reflecting on a lifetime’s memories, good and bad.

Honest, fabulous, powerful and poignant, this is Kerri-Anne Kennerley’s own extraordinary and inspiring story of A Bold Life.
