It’s no surprise then that Anita doesn’t do anything by halves. When her beloved father passed away, Anita realised she might not know all she thought about him and set about on a journey to uncover facts about her dad. She could never have predicted the story that was about to unfold. Anita tells the story of her father in her book Secrets from Behind the Screen: The Award-winning TV Producer’s compelling search for the truth. At the heart of this story is a daughter’s love for her father, and the moment she uncovers the human she hadn’t seen.
