Vahina Giocante

French film actress Vaina Giocante was born in the small town of Pitivier, which is located near Orleans. Her parents were from Corsica and Andalusia. Vaina's father worked as a gardener, and his mother was engaged in housekeeping. It is interesting that the name of the actress from the Malagasy dialect, the national language of Madagascar, translates as "Welcome".

Vaina Giocante spent the first 10 years of her life in Corsica, and then moved to Aix-en-Provence, where she entered the prestigious Paul Cezanne Lyceum. At the age of 15, the schoolgirl began dancing in the Roland Petit ballet at the Marseille Opera and worked there for two years.

Having started working as a dancer and actress very early, Vaina Jokante achieved a lot, not only on stage, but also as a model. She was the face of the famous French beauty salon "Jacques Dessange", and Giocante's photo shoots for the English lingerie brand Agent Provocateur brought her considerable popularity.

Several times Vaina took breaks in her career to make long travels in Latin America and Africa.

Vaina Giocante was 14 years old when a representative of the acting agency saw her on the beach and invited her to auditions. This is how the cinematic biography of the future French movie star began.

The aspiring actress played her first film role in Manuel Pradal's melodrama Marie from the Bay of Angels. She created on the screen the image of a young girl of easy virtue from the French Riviera, who fell in love with the thief Orso. The heroine of the film, Marie, is a priestess of love, entangled in life, who cannot deal with her feelings. This tape opened the doors to cinema for 16-year-old Giocante and brought her first popularity, although it was criticized to smithereens. But the directors managed to notice the bright girl and noted her acting skills.

Worldwide recognition came to the actress only a few years later, after the release of the joint Franco-British criminal melodrama Leela Speaks, in which Vaina Jokante played in a duet with the French actor Mohammed Khuas. The film follows a teenage girl from an Arab ghetto in Marseille and raises important moral issues, including the issue of racism.

Critics enthusiastically praised the work of Vaina Jokante, they were quite surprised at how she managed to play girlish naivety at the same time as feminine seduction. Some have compared the manner of her playing with that of the brilliant Brigitte Bardot. For this role, the actress won the Béziers Film Festival prize.

In 2000, the sparkling French comedy "The Libertine" by Gabriel Aguillon was released, in which Vaina Giocante starred with such stars as Fanny Ardant, Josian Balasco and Audrey Tautou. This is an eccentric film about Puritan France in the second half of the 18th century, when the church tried to restrain the loving French from debauchery and free-thinking.

In 2007, Vaina Giocante starred in the adaptation of the acclaimed satirical novel 99 Francs, which made fun of the modern advertising business. Her heroine Sophie, the beloved of the protagonist, played by the famous comedian Jean Dujardin, lives in a consumerist and thoroughly mercantile world, but at the same time believes that advertising is not an entirely honest business. In this film, Vaina Giocante collaborated not only with the director Jan Kunen, whom she knew from the Western Blueberry, but also with Frederic Beigbeder, author of the novel that formed the basis of the film 99 Francs.

In 2009, the Frenchwoman presented her fans with a new film, in which she again played a key role. This is Laurent Tuelle's French-Italian crime thriller "The Vicious Circle", on the set of which Vaina Giocante met such famous colleagues as Jean Reno and Gaspard Ulliel.

A new starring role went to the actress in 2013: she got into the brilliant cast of the melodrama (Un) Expected Prince, written by the famous writer and director Luc Besson. In addition to Vaina herself, such French cinema stars as Vincent Perez and Jacques Weber took part in the film. Vaina Giocante admitted that she experienced incredible happiness from working with Perez and Weber, because they are real masters of their craft and professionals of the highest level.

Recently, Russian viewers had an excellent opportunity to watch the game of a Frenchwoman in the new joint Russian-Ukrainian project "Mata Hari". This is the life story of a legendary dancer and spy, whose love was sought by the most powerful and wealthy men in Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century. The courtesan was played by Vaina Jokante, and the role of her Russian lover Vadim Maslov went to Maxim Matveyev.

The series began filming in 2016, and the long-awaited premiere on Channel One took place in March 2017. The viewers of Portugal were the first to see the drama - they watched the series in January.

The choice of the main character of the series fell on Giocante because her acting skills are combined with the skill of a dancer. The stars of the world and Russian cinema played in the melodrama, including such famous artists as Rutger Hauer, Oshin Stack, Christopher Lambert, Gerard Depardieu, Victoria Isakova, Alexander Petrov, Ksenia Rappoport, Alexey Guskov and Svetlana Khodchenkova.

Filming of "Mata Hari" took place in Ukraine, Russia and Portugal, while the picture was voiced in Russian and English.

When Vaina Giocante was 20 years old, she gave birth to a son, Nino, out of wedlock, whose father was the bass player Martin Gamet. But the family of Vain and Martin was not for long: the two stars were too close together, and they parted. The child stayed with his mother.

Vaina Giocante's personal life made a new round after meeting the famous designer Ito Morabito, who is the grandson of the famous architect Yves Bayard. But it seems that the talented Frenchwoman did not succeed in marital happiness with Ito: the designer never became the legal husband of Giocante.

The actress is actively involved in public life: she is the ambassador of the Sister Emmanuel Association, which was created to help people in need in North Africa. Also in 2012, Vaina Jokante officially supported rainforest conservationist Chef Raoni in his quest to stop the construction of a hydroelectric power plant on a tributary of the Amazon.
