 Maria
Cucinotta started working as a model in Milan,
during the summer holidays, when she was 16. When
she finished school, she abandoned modelling (She
didn't like it because they only used her image,
not her head) and auditioned in Rome for the tv
programme "Indietro Tutta" by Renzo
Arbore: She was taken for the part of the odalisque.
And that's how her television career began. Meanwhile,
Maria took acting and elocution lessons, to get
rid of her Sicilian accent, and was taken on by
an acting agency, while, however, continuing to
work on television in order to earn a living and
therefore be able to study.
While movie auditions were almost always a failure,
the ones for advertising went well and she started
to shoot one advertisement after the other: they
proved excellent to learn the techniques, meet
international directors, and make herself known
abroad.
