Anna Falchi (Italian pronunciation: [ˈanna ˈfalki]; born Anna Kristiina Palomäki on 22 April 1972) is a Finnish-Italian model and film actress.

Career

Anna Kristiina Palomäki was born in Tampere, Finland, the daughter of an Italian father, Benito (Tito) Falchi, and Finnish mother Kaarina. She has a brother, Saro, and a half-brother in Sweden, Peter (by her father). In 1978, at the age of six, she moved to Italy with her family, where she started her career as a model. Falchi first appeared on television in a commercial for an Italian bank in 1992.^[1] The ad starred Paolo Villaggio, and was directed by the celebrated Federico Fellini. This helped her launch a film career, starting with Nel continente nero (in the black Continent) in 1993.

Falchi appeared in many films since, including the 1994 fantasy movie The Dragon Ring, the 1997 film La principessa e il povero and the 2005 comedy Nessun messaggio in segreteria. She has also been a popular television personality, hosting various specials on Italian television.

Falchi is lesser known in the English-speaking world. Some know her for the lead female role in the film Dellamorte Dellamore, which was released in the US as Cemetery Man.

In 1995 Falchi briefly explored the music industry, recording the Finnish dance single "Pium Paum (Vipula Vapula)" which was released through the Italian label Dig It International.^[2]

In a 2001, Falchi was a guest on the Italian late-night show Satyricon, during which she satirized one of the appearances of Madonna on Late Show with David Letterman during which Madonna jokingly teased Letterman for refusing to smell her panties. Falchi actually took off her red panties on stage, and the host, Daniele Luttazzi, went all the way to smell them, which caused some scandal in Italy.^[3][4]
