“I met her by pure chance at my agency on Via dei Banchi Vecchi – recalls the actor and director – she was with her Dutch mother to ask my agent for advice. Natasha was born in Beirut, to an American father, a musician who lives in Boston. I was immediately struck by the face of this girl, who was 16 years old at the time, and exuded sweetness and grace. He was elegant in everything and the brightness of his smile could not help but charm. After long auditions, I convinced her to accept her first role in cinema, even though she was shy and reserved. But we succeeded and together we built a perfect duo. This photo of him was taken on the coast of Ostia during a break in the “Compagni di Scuolà”. This makes me feel very nostalgic for the tyranny of time that passes faster than ever before. Now he lives between Miami and Paris, I think. She is married and has three children. Unfortunately we lost our contacts. But I wish her all the best and that she always maintains that sweetness in her face that represents the image of her personality and spirit. Maybe if you read this post it will show up. Who knows,” concludes Verdone.
