Cristiana Capotondi is the new Sisi
mike February 2nd, 2009
The italian actress Cristiana Capotondi is playing Sisi in the new TV prodution (2 times 90 minutes) directed by Franz Xaver Schwarzenberger, script by Ivan Cotroneo and Monika Rametta. By Munich based summerset production. Franz Joseph’s mother Sophie will be played by Martina Gedeck.
Cristiana was born in Rome 28 years ago and is well known and respected in Italy. She said that she is honoured to play the role of Sissi – once played by Romy Schneider who she adored.
She is also active for Tommy Hilfigers where she named as ambassador along with Claudia Gerini for the limited edition bag initiative, which benefits Breast Health International.
Cristiana deputed as a supporting actor in the movie Vacanze di Natale ’95 (christmas holidays in Aspen Colorado) as Marta Colombo. Lets hope the new Sisi movie will have a slighlty more profound plot but will also be entertaining and represent the authentic charme of Kaiserin Lisi.
A more recent contribution in 2008 is the drama “Rebecca, la prima moglie” – based on a story from Alfred Hitchcock – an italian article automatically translated into english
