The Greatest Showman is a film that many of us have taken to our hearts. One of our favourite characters is Lettie Lutz, also known as the bearded lady. Her song, “This Is Me”, has become, to many of us, our own personal anthem. I caught up with the fabulous woman who has brought all of this to life – Keala Settle.
We spoke about how “This is Me” changed so many lives, including her own.
Keala also opened up about why she didn’t want to step into the spotlight and preferred to do a Greta Garbo with her life, but with the support of her “Greatest Showman” co-star Hugh Jackman she has decided against it.
Check out the initial performance that blew everyone away!
Hi,
I’m Sarina Bellissimo and this is the place I come to indulge in my love of all things entertainment. I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t fascinated by all things Hollywood/showbiz. I blame my parents!
As a child my mum used to force me to watch old Elvis Presley films with her, and both my mum & dad would take my brothers and I to the Drive-In to watch the latest films (this is where my love for ROCKY began!). When not watching movies, I was trying to figure out ways to pull the back off the TV so I could somehow get into it and be a part of all the action on the screen!
This blog isn’t a place that revels in gossip and negativity. It’s a place where entertainment is celebrated. That said, this is a place you can turn to for honesty. Honesty and criticism don’t always mean attacks. I choose to criticise the piece of work but not the person and I acknowledge that just because I don’t like something, it doesn’t mean someone else won’t.
Here you’ll find interviews with some of the biggest names in the world of Entertainment, reviews, breaking news and my very own musings.
Away from The Bellissimo Files, you can find me on Spin 1038 on Saturdays, between 1pm and 3pm,presenting Plan B.
