BIOGRAPHY
The younger daughter of Italian horror maestro Dario Argento [her mother was
actress Daria Nicolodi], Argento has worked hard to move out of her
father's shadow - although she has worked with him many times, she has
also proved herself a more than capable actress in her own right.
As well as acting, she has pursued other interests - she has had a
novel, I Love You Kirk, published and has regularly sung with a number
of Rome based bands. In 1994, she followed in her father's footsteps
and directed her first film.
