Monica Bellucci was the the choice of blog readers as the most alluring actress of the current screen. Born in Umbria, she was a model before becoming an actress. She has appeared in Italian, French and English-language cinema, and she has distinguished herself in all three. Though she is probably best known to American audiences for her appearances in the Matrix films, she has made a fair number of art films in Italy and France and even in the United States. Among her best are THE APARTMENT, REMEMBER ME MY LOVE, THE PRIVATE LIVES OF PIPPA LEE, DO N'T LOOK BACK, and MALENA.
