Italian actress Laura Morante began her onscreen career in earnest at the beginning of the 1980s and worked steadily on the small and big screen from that point forward. She first gained fame in her own country, and soon built a reputation throughout Europe and the world. By the beginning of the 21st century, she worked steadily in international fare directed by such luminaries as Mike Figgis, Alain Resnais, and the directorial debut of John Malkovich (The Dancer Upstairs). ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
