Celebrity

What do Madonna, Lord Byron and Donald Trump have in common? For better or worse they’re all celebrities. What they have in common is a determination to break the rules. Do things their own way. So why are we fascinated by defiance? We explore the connection between celebrity and defiance through the life of scandalous French actress, Sarah Bernhardt.

Celebrity and defiance presented by the University of Melbourne. 26 July 2017.

Guest
