Valentina Vargas
Valentina Vargas (born December 31, 1964 in Santiago de Chile ) is a Chilean actress .
Life
The daughter of a large landowner trained in dance, drama, music and singing in her home country. In 1983 she came to Paris, where she worked as a theater actor and singer. After the death of her parents, she temporarily turned her back on her adopted country of France and returned to Chile in October 2007 to look after the family property, as she announced in an interview with the Chilean magazine "La Tercera - Mujer".
After small supporting roles in French films, she became popular overnight through a role in which she did not speak a single word: In the film adaptation of the novel The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco , she plays a poor peasant girl who gives herself to the monks of a mountain monastery Begging for food but sleeping with a young novice whom she fell in love with spontaneously without asking for anything.
In contrast, Valentina Vargas' later film appearances received little attention, although she even got the lead role in the German film Die Tigerin . Vargas has been a regular television actor since the late 1990s.
