Biography |
Vanessa Hessler is an Italian model
and actress. She has been a model since she was 15, and has
appeared in many publications throughout Italy and Germany.
Hessler was born to Gabriella, an Italian and John, an
American. She lived in Rome until she was 8, then moved to
Washington D.C., her father's birthplace. In 2002 she
returned to Italy and started working as a model. She speaks
Italian, English and French.
She worked for Donna sotto le stelle and Notte Mediterranea,
both on TV. In 2004, she was chosen for a Korff's
advertising campaign and for Alta Roma Alta Moda, the Rome
fashion week.
She lives in Rome and Washington, and appeared in
commercials for Baby Star, Nara Camicie, and Gilli.
Hessler planned to work in television, and in early 2006 she
wanted to replace Alessia Marcuzzi to host Le iene, but lost
to Cristina Chiabotto.
Hessler is the face of the DSL brand "Alice" (a service of
Telecom Italia), and also appears in advertising for Calvin
Klein, Giorgio Armani, L'Oréal, and Ferrero.
In March 2006, she made her debut as a tv show host at the
Festival di Sanremo with Claudia Cedro, Francesca Lancini,
and Marta Cecchetto.
Hessler appeared in the 2005 film Christmas in Miami
(Italian: Natale a Miami), along with Christian de Sica, and
consequently her popularity soared. She plays Greek
princess, Irina, in the 2008 Asterix at the Olympic Games
(French: Astérix aux Jeux Olympiques), a film that also
stars Alain Delon and Gérard Depardieu. As of February 2008,
Hessler is working on a film for Italian television. |
