Hanna Kinnunen! This episode is in Finnish.

In this discussion we talk about how Hanna got into professional acting, which was when she won the Finnish TV show Haluatko filmitähdeksi? (Do You Want to Be a Moviestar?) The show put her on the map in the whole country and she became a star.
At some point she stepped out from TV for some years, but she still kept acting and working in her wide field of communications.
A couple of years ago she came back to the daily series Salatut elämät (Secret Lives), in which she plays a colorful character Salla. In our talk Hanna shares her process how she plays Salla, and how it is filming a daily TV series.
In addition to her acting and radio work, she is currently performing in Hanna as Adele – A Night to Remember Show & Dinner at Casino Helsinki. The show consists of Adele’s greatest hits performed by Hanna.
An inspiring talk with a true media professional!
