Chiara Mastroianni: biography of the actress and her success in the cinema

They say that nature often rests on the offspring of talented parents. However, fortunately, there are exceptions to this rule. One of them is the beautiful and incredibly talented actress Chiara Mastroianni.

The history of the acquaintance of the father and mother of Chiara

The parents of this charming Italian-French actress are two legends of world cinema - Marcello Mastroianni and Catherine Deneuve.

These actors got acquainted while working on the film "This happens only with others". By then both were already recognized stars. However, the joint work somehow did not stick, so the project director decided to help Catherine and Marcello get to know each other better. To do this, he locked them up for a day in an empty trailer. The time spent together made the actors look differently at each other, and soon an affair broke out between them.

There were rumors that for the sake of the blond Frenchwoman Mastroianni was even going to move to Paris, to throw all the affairs and family in Italy. However, Denyov did not believe in the institution of marriage and rejected all the offers of her lover. Even pregnant, she did not change her mind, and soon Catherine and Marcello broke up.

Chiara Mastroianni: biography of the early years

On a hot May day in 1972 in Paris, Deneuve gave birth to a daughter, whom she planned to call Charlotte. However, for the first time when she saw the baby, Papa was amazed at her light skin and gave her the name of Chiara, that "light" is translated from Italian. Among other things, Marcello insisted that his daughter bears the surname Mastroianni. It is interesting that the girl subsequently did not change her father's surname, although she married twice.

Despite the fact that the girl's parents divorced and lived not just in different cities, but also in the countries - they both cared about Chiara. Later, she told me that although she had seen her father and mother together only on a movie screen, she had never felt that she was living in an inferior family, because she had loving, caring parents.

Relationship with mother

Catherine Deneuve was always distinguished by rational thinking and in most cases could cope with her feelings. That's why the surrounding people had the impression that it was cool to their children.

When the daughter was born, the actress already had a nine-year-old son Christian. Because of the constant employment on the set, Catherine was often on the road, but she always tried to keep in touch with her daughter. So, no matter where Deneuve was, she always found the opportunity to call home to wish Chiara good night.

Knowing the complexities of the acting profession, the prima donna of the French cinema did not want her baby to follow the maternal steps. She considered the profession of an actress not a reliable earnings. However, Denyov, ignorant of that, kindled the passion of her young daughter to the world of cinema and theater. So Chiara Mastroianni from the very childhood helped the mother to learn the role, reading the lines for other characters. In addition, she was often present on the set of many pictures in which her mother was shot.

When the girl grew older, Catherine Deneuve convinced her to become an archaeologist. At the insistence of her mother, she entered the Sorbonne University. But secretly from her Chiara participated in all sorts of castings, however, she could not get a serious role.

Relationship with father

In addition to Chiara, the great Italian actor had many children, but the baby was his favorite. Marcello himself explained this by what he loved very much Catherine Deneuve, and when their paths parted, he transferred all his passion to a beautiful daughter.

Mother did not forbid the baby to go to her father to Rome, than Chiara often used. Marcello not only madly spoiled his beauty, but also arranged a holiday for every her arrival. Thanks to her father, the girl from the very childhood was involved in Italian culture. Moreover, together with the daddy, young Chiara Mastroianni (photo below) often acted in various photo shoots, and also attended famous film festivals, premieres and other important events, where the famous Italian actor was invited. Thanks to her father, Chiara felt like a real princess of Italian cinema.

Carier start

Learning that her daughter decided to become an actress, despite all the exhortations of her mother, Deneuve resigned to her choice. Moreover, she helped her daughter to get the first serious role in the film "My favorite season", in which she acted herself.

In turn, his father also helped his favorite - he made sure that Chiara Mastroianni played with him in the Italian film "High Fashion".

Thanks to her parents, the aspiring actress got a few more minor roles, but she wanted more.

First successes

To prove that she really is a talented actress, and not mediocrity, who received a role thanks to the connections of her parents, Chiara starred in a somewhat unusual image in the picture "Do not forget that soon you will die", dedicated to the theme of AIDS patients.

Later, after playing a few more difficult roles, the actress decided on her role - she began deliberately to abandon the romantic heroines, choosing complex characters, with a difficult fate. In addition, to once and for all get rid of the glory of the actress, who received the role of "on the brink," Chiara Mastroianni begins deliberately to refuse large-budget international projects. She chooses the films of talented newcomers.

Achievements of Chiara

Films with her participation, meanwhile, were real masterpieces, but not all, of course. However, the ability to play absolutely any heroine helped Chiara achieve recognition of the best directors of Italy and France.

Being more like her father than her mother, the girl did not become a hostage to the puppet appearance, as Catherine Deneuve used to be. On the contrary, she proved that she is able to reincarnate in anyone. Among her heroines are secular lionesses, prostitutes, drug addicts, journalists, victims of maniacs and just unhappy women. Chiara is not afraid to speak the unpleasant truth about life with the lips of her heroines.

Among the best movies with the actress - "Do not forget that soon you will die", "Diary of a seducer", "For sale", "Letter", "Slaughterhouse", "All the songs only about love", "The man in the bathroom", " Hour X "and others.

In addition, Mademoiselle Mastroianni is often invited to be a member of the jury of various European film festivals and competitions.
