  <title>Valeria Golino on Hollywood, Directing and a Life in Cinema - 303 - Alain Elkann Interviews</title>
  <description>ICONIC ITALIAN ACTRESS &amp;amp;amp; FILMMAKER.&amp;amp;nbsp;Valeria&amp;amp;nbsp;Golino&amp;amp;nbsp;is an acclaimed Italian actress and filmmaker. Born in Naples, Italy, she grew up between Greece and Italy and is one of the most internationally recognized Italian figures in cinema, fluent in Italian, Greek, French, and English. To English-language audiences, she is most famous for her prominent roles in late ’80s and early ’90s American films, including&amp;amp;nbsp;Rain Man&amp;amp;nbsp;(1988),&amp;amp;nbsp;Big Top Pee-wee&amp;amp;nbsp;(1988), and the parody comedies&amp;amp;nbsp;Hot Shots!&amp;amp;nbsp;(1991) and&amp;amp;nbsp;Hot Shots! Part Deux&amp;amp;nbsp;(1993). She holds the rare distinction of being one of only four actresses to have won the prestigious Volpi Cup for Best Actress twice at the Venice Film Festival (for&amp;amp;nbsp;Storia d’amore&amp;amp;nbsp;in 1986 and&amp;amp;nbsp;Per amor vostro&amp;amp;nbsp;in 2015). She has starred in celebrated European projects such as&amp;amp;nbsp;Portrait of a Lady on Fire&amp;amp;nbsp;(2019) and prominent television series like Apple TV+’s&amp;amp;nbsp;The Morning Show. Golino has also found critical success behind the camera, directing well-received films like&amp;amp;nbsp;Miele&amp;amp;nbsp;(2013) and&amp;amp;nbsp;Euforia&amp;amp;nbsp;(2018), as well as the 2024 drama series&amp;amp;nbsp;L’Arte della Gioia&amp;amp;nbsp;(The Art of Joy). “I became an actress by Chance, but I continued by Choice. I like being an actress, and now I like directing even more.” “You feel that you’ve done something that may be useful — not practically, perhaps, but useful to the soul. Cinema can make you change your mind.” “I think if you lose childhood and innocence, somehow you lose yourself. A lot of my childhood has stayed with me. It never left, and I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing.”  https://www.alainelkanninterviews.com/valeria-golino/ </description>
