Aria Asia Anna Maria Vittoria Rossa Argento (born 20 September 1975) is an Italian actress and director. Besides Italian, she also speaks fluent Finnish and English. She can also speak French, which she learned for her role in Les Morsures de L’Aube.
Her mother is actress Daria Nicolodi and her father is Dario Argento, an Italian film director, producer and screenwriter, well known for his work in the Italian giallo genre and for his influence on modern horror and slasher movies. Her great-grandfather was composer Alfredo Casella. When Asia Argento was born in Rome, the city registry office refused to acknowledge Asia as an appropriate name, and instead officially inscribed her as Aria Argento. She nonetheless uses the name Asia Argento professionally. Her father used to read her his scripts as bedtime stories.
At age eight, Argento published a book of poems. At the age of 14, she ran away from home. She was an introvert and read to make up for having no friends. Argento has mentioned in interviews that she does not have a close relationship with her father. In an interview with Filmmaker Magazine she stated that she was agoraphobic while she was writing Scarlet Diva and that she could not leave her apartment for months. Asia Argento started acting at the age of nine, playing a small part in a film by Sergio Citti. She received the David di Donatello (Italy’s version of the Academy Award) for Best Actress in 1994 for her performance in Perdiamoci di vista!, and again in 1996 for Compagna di viaggio, which also earned her a Grolla d’oro award. In 1998, Argento began appearing in English-language movies, such as B. Monkey and New Rose Hotel.
In 1996, she directed a documentary on her father, and in 1998 a second one on Abel Ferrara, which won her the Rome Film Festival Award. Argento directed and wrote her first movie, Scarlet Diva (2000), which her father co-produced. In addition to her cinematic accomplishments, Argento has written a number of stories for magazines such as Dynamo and L’Espresso, while her first novel, titled I Love You Kirk, was published in Italy in 1999. She has modeled for and endorses the brand “Miss Sixty”. She dubbed the Italian version of the video game Mirror’s Edge in the role of the runner Faith Connors. -Wikipedia
