Full Valeria Golino Biography
Valeria Golino (Greek: 'αλέρια Γκολίνο) (October 22, 1966) is a Greek-Italian film and television actress.
Golino was born in Naples, Italy to an Italian father who was a Germanist and scholar and a Greek mother who was a painter. She grew up in an "artistic household" and was partly raised in Athens. Golino is the niece of L'Espresso journalist Enzo Golino; her brother is a musician. Golino grew up between Athens and Naples. She started work as a model in Athens and then dropped out of high school after her first movie, after having been discovered by the movie's director, Lina Wertmuller.
Golino obtained her first starring role in 1985's (Little Fires) and won the Best Actress Award at the Venice Film Festival for Storia d'amore in 1986. She began to work in Hollywood in 1988 with the movie Big Top Pee-wee and received roles in prominent films such as Rain Man, as the love interest of Tom Cruise, and the comedy films Hot Shots! and Hot Shots! Part Deux co-starring with Charlie Sheen. She had also been considered for the starring role in Pretty Woman but the role went to Julia Roberts because Golino still had a prominent Italian accent.
She performed the song "The Man I Love" in the movie Hot Shots!. More recently, she had a supporting role in the successful French thriller 36, Quai des Orfèvres.
At various times she has been involved with director Peter del Monte (1985–87), actor Benicio del Toro (1988–92), actor Fabrizio Bentivoglio (1993–2001), and actor Andrea Di Stefano (2002–?). She currently is involved with Riccardo Scamarcio. |
