*Synopsis | Acting For Real (2024)*
For much-loved Australian actor Madeleine West, it was a role that came with caveats. She was told there would be no audience to admire the part, no applause and certainly no awards. Madeleine desperately didn’t want to do it, but she knew she couldn’t refuse. She also knew it had to be her finest performance ever. And that’s because she’d be acting for real. As Tara Brown reports, the role was about a dark chapter in Madeleine’s own life that she’d kept hidden for 40 years, and taking it on was the only way to help police put a monster behind bars.
