Career Highlights:
"The melodious name of Italian actress Teresa Saponangelo seems like a sweet refrain that's hard to forget. Just as captivating stars like Saffron Burrows, Stevie Lynn Jones, Valeria Golino, Carmen Ejogo, and Catherine Deneuve who share her October 22nd birthday have a certain allure, so does Ms. Saponangelo. Even when she acts in foreign films (Tutto l'amore che c'è, The Hand of God), her appeal transcends language barriers.
After honing her craft at the Palmi Drama School in Reggio Calabria, Teresa debuted on screen in 1995 with a minor role in Il Verificatore. However, her innate beauty and talent didn't go unnoticed, as she soon took on leading roles. In Anna Negri's romantic comedy, In principio erano le mutande (also known as In the Beginning There Was Underwear), released in 1999, Teresa showcased both her comedic timing and her figure, with scenes featuring her bare breasts during a bath and some passionate encounters. This revealing role earned her a Nastro d'Argento Best Actress nomination in 2000.
That same year, she won the Ubu Award for her performance in the stage play Tartufo. While Ms. Saponangelo's talent is undeniable, if she aims to win an Anatomy Award, she might need to take on more roles that highlight her physique."
