Italian actress and director. Born in Naples, Italy. She is best known to English-language audiences for her role in the film Rain Man (1988), and the Hot Shots! films, particularly the olive-in-the-belly-button scene. In addition to the David di Donatello, Silver Ribbon, Golden Ciak and Italian Golden Globe awards, she is also one of three actresses to win the Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival multiple times.

Golino was born in Naples, Italy, to an Italian father who was a Germanist and scholar, and a Greek mother, Lalla, who was a painter. She grew up in an "artistic household" and, after her parents split, was raised between Athens and Sorrento (Naples). Golino is the niece of L'Espresso journalist Enzo Golino. At 14 she started to work as a model in Athens, Milan (for Vogue magazine), London, and Los Angeles. She shot commercials for beer, perfume, and makeup, and modeled bathing suits and jeans. An absent-minded student, she dropped out of high school after her first film.

Her true star-making role came the following year, when she played the life-loving cleaning lady who romances two different men in A Tale of Love by Francesco Maselli. Her vibrant performance received rave reviews and garnered her two prizes at the 1986 Venice Film Festival: the official Best Actress award (now called Volpi Cup) and the Golden Ciak award. The same film also won her the oldest and most prestigious critics prize of the Italian cinema: the Silver Ribbon award for Best Actress.

She moved to Los Angeles and began to work in Hollywood, with the movie Big Top Pee-Wee (1988). She was cast in Rain Man (also 1988), as the girlfriend of Tom Cruise's chararacter, and the comedy films Hot Shots! (1991) and Hot Shots! Part Deux (1993). Despite her self-deprecating reluctance, she also sang in several films, most notably in Hot Shots! and Big Top Pee-Wee. She also recorded two LPs in 1987, the song 'Maybe Once More' for L'inverno and 'Piangi Roma' for Giulia Doesn't Date at Night (featuring Baustelle), the latter of which won her a Silver Ribbon award for Best Song. She is a member of AMPAS thanks to the invitation of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. (Wikipedia) ... (more)
