Italian actress Sabrina Impacciatore is among the actresses nominated in the category “Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series” at the upcoming

Read here below her bio and some fun facts about this stunning actress!


Sabrina Impacciatore was born in Rome in 1968 and started her career in the entertainment industry thanks to Gianni Boncompagni, one of the most prolific Italian television director and producer. Boncompagni wanted her to join a TV show he had created titled “Non è la RAI” where Sabrina was performing in a wide range of comic skits. This lead her to join a second show under the direction of Boncompagni titled “Macao” where she one again demonstrated her comic skill with the creation of a character named Darla.

Her debut on the silver screen dates back to 1999 when she joined the production of a movie titled “Il Compagno” based on the novel of the same name by Cesare Pavese. Year 2001 marks a turning point for Sabrina’s career as she was casted in the movie “L’ultimo Bacio” by Gabriele Muccino (the Italian director of movies like The Pursuit of Happiness, Seven Pounds and Playing for Keeps). This movie will also be have an American version by director Tony Goldwyn and starring Zach Braff, Rachel Bilson, Casey Affleck and Jacinda Barrett.

In a recent interview appeared on comingsoon.it Sabrina has unveiled some interesting facts about the casting process for the role of Valentina in the second season of The White Lotus.
She was busy on a movie set on on the Dolomites when she got the call from her agent saying that the director Mike White was struggling to find an actress to play Valentina. She was reluctant to sent her audition tape since she was very busy, but with the help of some friends and almost two days of taping, she was finally able to send her tape to the casting director of The White Lotus. Long story short she got a call by her agent saying that she was stunning and that the production company loved her work. A few weeks later she was playing Valentina in the White Lotus with Jennifer Coolidge, Aubrey Plaza, Theo James and Michael Imperioli.
