Lena Zavaroni found fame on the 70's music talent show 'Opportunity Knocks' hosted by Hughie Green
This is her story: Remembering Lena Zavaroni.
Watch All six episodes and write a 500 word essay entitled:
Should TV talent shows impose an age limit?
Issues to consider:
Did she find fame to young?
Did her early fame trigger her illness?
Was she emotionally immature/ill equipped to cope with the presures of such an early show-biz life? Or just badly managed?
Parental consent and responsibility?
Media resposibility and representation?
At what age are you equipped emotionally to cope with the fame bubble bursting?
Should there be an age limit on talent shows to prevent the exploitation of children?
Or should children/teenagers be recognised for their unique talents regardless of age? Why shouldn't they have their 15 minutes of fame?
