August 5, 1977, Rimini, Italy

A fading actress in denial of her downfall, clinging to the illusion of a spotlight that no longer shines.

Lorenza Cuomo is a once-celebrated actress of Italian cinema — at the height of her fame, she was hailed as a rising star of romantic and dramatic films.

Born in a small village in northern Italy, Lorenza’s ambitions shifted many times throughout her youth. She first dreamed of becoming a singer, then a stage actress. But everything changed after a chance viewing of Nights of Cabiria; overwhelmed by emotion, Lorenza decided, then and there, that she was destined to become a movie star.
Her acting career began humbly, with small roles and modest projects. However, after her striking performance in The Long Sleep Under the Sleeping Willow — a secondary role that nevertheless lit up the screen — Lorenza captured the attention of major studios. Soon after, she made her leading debut in the melodrama The Golden Cage, a commercial hit that catapulted her into the stardom.

Yet success came at a cost.

Drunk on her own success, Lorenza grew increasingly impulsive and difficult to work with. Her temperament alienated directors and producers, and under mounting stress, she turned to drugs— further tarnishing her public image. Of course, Lorenza refused to acknowledge the decline, continuing to spend lavishly and borrow recklessly, even from very dangerous lenders.

The inevitable downfall arrived with Dead Man’s Ring, a critical and financial disaster that bankrupted the production studio. Lorenza suffered a nervous breakdown shortly afterward. With what little money she had left, she escaped to the coastal town of Rimini for a two-week vacation — still clinging to the illusion of the life she once led.
