BIOGRAPHY
Return
Monica Bellucci (born September 30, 1968) is an Italian supermodel and actress, born in Citta di Castello, Italy. She is married to fellow actor
Vincent Cassel, with whom she has starred in several films and with whom she had a daughter, called
Deva.
Initially pursuing a career as a lawyer, Monica decided to start modeling in order to help pay for her tuition while at the University of Perugia. But the glamorous life of a model tempted Monica away from her law studies.
In 1988, Monica moved to one of Europe's fashion centers
- Milan, where she signed with Elite Model Management. By 1989, Monica was becoming prominent as a model in Paris and across the Atlantic, in New York City. She posed for Dolce & Gabbana and French ELLE, amongst others. In that year, Monica made the transition to acting — a very popular trend that models Laetitia Casta, Jaime King and Estella Warren have done successfully — and began taking acting classes.
Some of her acting roles have included the movies

"Bram Stoker's Dracula" (1992), |

and In her film "The Passion of the Christ", the Mel Gibson-directed movie, she stars as Mary Magdalene. |

One crowned prize list, isn't this? As much to say that with at
least a film per year, Monica does not have what to be bored !

completely recognized by largest of the cinematographic world.
