Australian Biography Series 8

Diane Cilento achieved international acclaim as a stage and screen actor in the 1950s and 60s, hitting the heights of celebrity during her marriage to James Bond star, Sean Connery. But she decided to turn her back on fame to follow, instead, a spiritual path. She has since gained a reputation as a "new age guru" - and a sense of personal fulfilment that was lacking. Now running a theatre on her far north Queensland property, Diane reflects on a life lived to the full.
