The American novelist, playwright and art collector Gertrude Stein was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and raised in Oakland, California, but moved to France at the beginning of the 20th century. Of that transition, she once famously said: âAmerica is my country, and Paris is my home town.â
A century later, the global wanderings of Australian actor Melissa George might be a shimmering reflection of Steinâs own journey; one which saw Melissa exchange her home town of Perth for Sydney, then Sydney for Hollywood with a detour through Buenos Aires, and, finally, Hollywood for Paris.
