Ornella Muti was rightly considered one of the most beautiful women in Italian cinema. She celebrated her 58th birthday on March 9, 2023. See what the actress looks like now and what she does for a living. Ornella Mutti was born in Rome, the daughter of a Neapolitan journalist, whose name is unknown, and a Baltic German woman, Ilse Krause, who was a sculptor and was born in Estonia. Mom started acting at an early age – she was 14 years old when she starred in the film “The Most Beautiful Woman” about the Sicilian mafia. It was the director of this film, Damiano Damiani, who came up with a pseudonym for the young actress.
After all, her real name is Francesca Romana Rivelli. But the actress name Rivelli was already known in Italy. The breakthrough for her acting career came with the scandalous erotic drama “The Last Woman” (La dernière femme), in which Muti played alongside Gérard Depardieu. However, Ornella’s real success came in the 1980s, when she appeared in films such as “The Taming of the Villain” (Il bisbetico domato) and “Madly in Love” (Innamorato pazzo), in which her partner was Adriano Celentano, and “Swann in. “Love” (Un amour de Swann) performed with Alain Delon. On the set of Taming of the Rogue, she had an affair with Celentano, which eventually led to her divorce from her first husband, actor Allesio Orano. However, the affair did not last long. “It’s normal for actors – love for the duration of the film,” Ornella noted at the time.
When she was only 19 years old, Muti gave birth to her first child – a daughter Nike, born out of wedlock from an unknown man with whom Ornella had a brief relationship. Apparently it was an adult, wealthy man who was married and broke off all relations with Ornella as soon as she found out that she was expecting a child. Then a son Andrea and a daughter Carolina were born in marriage to the producer Federico Facchinetti. Because of the man’s gambling addiction, the family broke up. Muti has been dating businessman Fabrice Kererwe since 2008. Today, the actress still stars in films, takes part in social events and even tries to do business herself – in 2008 she started producing jewelry.
And Muti has been a grandmother for a long time – she became one for the first time when she was 41. It is quite possible that she will soon become a great-grandmother – the actress’s eldest grandson, Akash Cetorelli, is already married. She got into trouble with the law because of a dinner with Vladimir Putin – in December 2010, Muti was supposed to appear on stage at the Verdi Theater in Pordenone, but was given sick leave and flew to St. Petersburg to take part in a charity dinner with the Russian politician (he was prime minister at the time). In Italy, Ornella was accused of fraud.
