Claudia Karvan's acts

Claudia Karvan has been a fixture on our screens for the last three decades. We watched her light up the screen on The Big Steal and The Heartbreak Kid, share-housed with her on The Secret Life of Us, and came of age as she did, on Love My Way.

When Claudia wasn’t acting in some of film and television’s biggest moments, she was working behind the scenes as a writer and director, and increasingly has been producing big shows like Bump on Stan.

Through all of this, I had a sneaking suspicion Claudia was a big music fan. And that was confirmed when I asked her to Take 5. From Sinead O’Connor to Pj Harvey to Warpaint, this is a brilliant capture of an artist and the songs that drive her.

Sinead O'Connor - Mandinka

PJ Harvey- 50ft Queenie

Liz Phair- Mesmerizing

Yeah Yeah Yeah’s- Down Boy

Warpaint- Undertow
