Actress Leigh Arnold: ‘Losing a child so suddenly, I felt like I was living hell on earth’

‘I truly and I genuinely can say for the first time, only very recently, that I like me,” Leigh Arnold smiles. “And I think that that took me a long time.

She laughs that it brings back memories of nights out as we get settled at our table, adding how grateful she is that none of her twenties were documented online.
