Valentina’s role in the US TV series The White Lotusthanks a Sabrina Impacciatore an international reputation. The actress, whom Italy struggled to value, had her redemption in America. He spoke about it during an interview with La Stampa: “In 20 minutes, my life changed”🇧🇷
Sabrina Impacciatore and the prejudices suffered in Italy
When pointed out as the only case in which the acting career was carried out after the age of fifty, Sabrina Impacciatore explained that this is related to the way things work in our country:
Italy could improve on that. I only did one project in America: The White Lotus. Only one! However, my interpretation did not escape anyone: bam, suddenly I exploded! And to think that I’m a longtime actress who doesn’t act, but always lives the characters she plays: I’ve done these things in other Italian films too. Since 2000! At this point, one of the questions is asked.
For this reason, she said she was convinced that she had paid the price of some prejudices about her, linked both to a non-canonical beauty and to the fact that she arrived at the cinema after some experiences on TV:
What prejudices have I discounted? Everyone knows: my television origins, my less canonical beauty… But now, all of a sudden, I’m good and beautiful, for the whole world. But here too: what is beauty for an actress? It’s her soul, not her model look.
The idea of a future in America
Although he loves Italy, he believes that now that he has experienced the magic of Hollywood, he is “hard to think only of national projects“. He added that in America he would have the opportunity to put his ideas to good use, while in Italy he often found a wall in front of his proposals:
In America I am happy. There is a bright atmosphere of possibilities that is lacking here in Italy: here we breathe an air of resignation rather than a dream. When I say “I’d like to do this idea”, here they look at me like I’m crazy, abroad they get excited. However, I try to keep my feet on the ground: I now have a global reputation, they write to me from New Zealand to South Africa, but I know it’s just a moment. I just hope I don’t go back to the asshole… I speak like a burned person. I’ve suffered so much that, although I don’t stop dreaming, I try to be cautious.
She plays Valentina in the series The White Lotus
Sabrina Impacciatore then told how she chose to portray the character of Valentina in The White Lotus series, deviating from how the role was initially thought:
When I read that she was in conflict with herself because of her sexuality, I felt invested with a greater responsibility, because in Italy being gay is still a problem for many people. Homosexuals are insulted and beaten in the street. Hence my choice to give an emotional key to the character, which on paper was much colder: I proposed the idea to director Mike White during the test and he was enthusiastic. In fact, I really wanted Valentina to be understood and to show that love is love. To point.
And concluded: “Am I proud to have become a queer icon? Very. I don’t have children: this is my way of having children, of feeling useful and of giving a loving meaning to my life🇧🇷
