Biography |
Anna Falchi (born Anna Kristiina Palomäki on April 22, 1972,
in Tampere) is a Finnish-born model and film actress. Half
Italian on her father's side, she was raised by her mother
in Italy, where she remains relatively well-known for her
modelling, and rather less so for her acting. Being raised
in Italy with a Finnish name that proved complex to
pronounce, she chose an alternative stage name to help
advance her modelling and acting career.
She started her career as a model. She first appeared on TV
in a commercial for an Italian bank in 1992. The ad starred
Paolo Villaggio, and was directed by the famous Federico
Fellini. This helped her launch a film career, starting with
Nel continente nero (On the Dark Continent) in 1993. She
appeared in many films since, including the 1994 fantasy
movie Desideria e l'Anello del Drago and more recently the
comedy Nessun messaggio in segreteria released in 2005. She
has also been a popular television personality, hosting
various specials on Italian TV.
She is less known in the English speaking world. Some fans
of the horror comic Dylan Dog, know her as the lead female
in a film adaptation called Dellamorte Dellamore, which was
released in the U.S. as Cemetery Man. |
