Monica Anna Maria Bellucci was born on September 30, 1964 in the Italian village of Città di Castello,
Umbria, the only child of Brunella Briganti and Pasquale Bellucci. She originally pursued a career in the
legal profession. While attending the University of Perugia, she
modeled on the side to earn money for school, and this led to her
modeling career. In 1988, she moved to one of Europe's fashion centers,
Milan, and joined Elite Model Management. Although enjoying great
success as a model, she made her acting debut on television in 1990,
and her American film debut in Bram Stoker's
Bram Stokerin Dracula (1992). Her role in the French
thriller L'appartement (1996), shot
her to stardom as she won the French equivalent of an Oscar nomination.

Epäilyksen alaisena (2000) and
Susien klaani (2001).
