At just 20, she gave the stunning performance of a grieving sister in La Stanza Del Figlio (The Son’s Room), and 2 years later as Giorgia in La Meglio Gioventù (The Best of Youth), Jasmine Trinca is all grown up now with a career more amazing than ever.
Born in Rome, she never took an acting class, married her college sweetheart, and cultivated a carefully managed and meaningful career, taking roles that were not always box office successes, but always critically acclaimed and full of integrity.
If you haven’t yet seen La Stanza Del Figlio or La Meglio Gioventù, why not? La Stanza Del Figlio won the Palme D’or at Cannes and a whole lot of other awards, and La Meglio Gioventù is practically “Contemporary Italian Film 101”, originally a TV mini-series that tells the epic story of two brothers over 4 decades.
Today, a dozen films later at 34, Jasmine stars with Riccardo Scamarcio in Sergio Castellito’s Nessuno Si Salva Da Solo, in the Taviani Brothers’ Maraviglioso Boccaccio (Wondrous Boccaccio), and in Sean Penn’s new film, The Gunman, opening in American theaters March 20.
