OverviewAt ten years old, Lena Zavaroni captivated the world with an extraordinary voice that belied her age. From a fish and chip shop on Scotland's Isle of Bute, she skyrocketed to international stardom-performing for presidents and queens, topping the UK charts, and becoming the youngest person ever to headline at the London Palladium. But behind the glittering success lay a devastating reality. Separated from her family, placed on a diet at age ten, and thrust into an industry that valued her marketability over her well-being, Lena developed anorexia nervosa at thirteen-a disease that would torment her for twenty-two years until her death at thirty-five. Lovely Lena is the unflinching story of a child star failed by those meant to protect her. Daniel Selby chronicles Lena's rise, her suffering, and the systemic failures that allowed a talented little girl to be exploited, pressured, and ultimately destroyed. This is Lena's all too short story-a celebration of her remarkable gift and an urgent demand that we protect the vulnerable children who entertain us. Lena Zavaroni deserved better. Her beautiful voice will never be silenced.
