biography:
Valeria Golino, née le 22 octobre 1966 à Naples, est une actrice, réalisatrice et productrice italienne.

Second enfant d'un père germano-italien, napolitain, et d'une mère peintre grecque, Valeria Golino grandit à Naples jusqu'à ce que ses parents déménagent. Elle est la nièce du journaliste Enzo Golino, et également la sœur du saxophoniste Alex Golino. Après trois ans passés à Athènes avec sa mère et trois ans à Naples avec son père, elle commence à travailler comme mannequin à l'âge de quatorze ans. Elle quitte l'école après son premier film. En plus de l'italien, sa langue maternelle, elle parle le grec, le français et l'anglais et a aussi quelques notions d'espagnol.

En 1985, elle obtient le premier rôle dans Piccoli fuochi. L'année suivante, elle remporte le prix de la meilleure actrice à la Mostra de Venise pour son rôle dans Storia d'amore. Après quelques rôles dans des coproductions européennes, elle entame une carrière à Hollywood (Big Top Pee-wee en 1988) et obtient les premiers rôles féminins dans Rain Man, Hot Shots! et Hot Shots! 2 de Jim Abrahams. À partir de la première moitié des années 2000, elle apparaît moins dans des films américains et travaille surtout en Europe, principalement dans son pays natal mais aussi en France. Elle est remarquée dans Respiro d'Emanuele Crialese en 20024 et Actrices de Valeria Bruni Tedeschi en 2007.

En 2013, elle réalise son premier long métrage, Miele, présenté au Festival de Cannes 2013, dans la section Un certain regard. Très bien accueilli, il est récompensé à Cannes d'une mention spéciale par le jury œcuménique, qui précise: «Le film offre un regard complexe et sans préjugés sur le thème actuel de l'euthanasie. Avec pudeur et maîtrise, la réalisatrice partage avec le public les doutes et le malaise d'une jeune femme qui aide les malades en phase terminale à mourir: à chacun la liberté et la responsabilité de prendre position». Son second long-métrage, Euforia, est diffusé en 2018 et raconte la relation de deux frères.

Elle a rencontré l'acteur Riccardo Scamarcio sur le film Le Vaillant en 2004. Après une annonce de mariage en 2015, qui n'a pas eu lieu, ils se séparent en 2017.
