At 52, sexy Sabrina’s surprising everyone, taking bold new roles.
I first noticed her as the femme fatale in the cinepanettone films, the popular Italian Christmas films that seem more bedroom farce than holiday entertainment, and I think that’s how Italy identified her. Frankly, I never took her seriously, but Paolo Sorrentino did. He cast her in the Academy Award winning La Grande Bellezza, and everybody including me took notice.
Then, in a career move that really shook up everyone’s perspective of her, she played a completely out of the closet lesbian in Maria Sole Tognazzi’s Io E Lei (Me, Myself and Her), one half of a couple that included Margherita Buy.
So at 50, the world found out that, hey! This girl can act! Happy birthday, Sabrina. Keep the surprises coming!
