About me

View profile
I trained as a performer in New York studying dance, voice and acting. My acting teacher was William Esper, who taught the  Meisner Method. In 1979 my professional career began as a dancer, working in touring shows (the Caribbean and South America), as lead dancer at the Aladdin Hotel and The Hacienda in Las Vegas, and at the Mikado Nightclub in Tokyo Japan. I also performed roles in several musicals during the 1980s at the Gateway Theater in NY. At the moment I appear much younger than my years and it is tricky to cast me. I do not look like a 'little old lady'. Yet my date of birth is what it is. My youthful look is probably due to my life as a dancer. I am talented as an actress, but haven't had the opportunity to work as much as I would have liked. I have a lot of experience on set, having worked as an extra and in small roles, in Italy and in the US, in at least 100 major motion picture and TV series. While I live in Rome, I make frequent trips to New York, where I have family. I am an excellent tap dancer, can drive a stick shift, and have both an Italian and USA driver's license and passport. In 2023 I registered as a full-time degree seeking student at The American University of Rome majoring in Fine Arts. Therefore, I can paint (oil or watercolour), sculpt, and draw on demand in a scene. Gardening is my passion as well as experimenting in the kitchen with new recipes. I appeared in Maneskin's music video Gossip (2023), and Lucio Corsi's video Tu Sei il Mattino (2024). For the film The Irishman I was chosen by Martin Scorsese to appear in the key scene working alongside Robert De Niro. As a gangster's girlfriend I appeared with Al Pacino and Johnny Dep in Donny Brasco. A long and exciting life has been mine, and I know even more wonderful things are waiting to happen for me in the future!
