Monica Bellucci: Italian-born, Paris-resident, bodaciously beautiful!

Good things come in threes. It wasn’t planned for me to feature three Italian actresses over 35 who were aging so well, but it’s hard not to talk about these women.

My third pick is the woman who made a lot of people ask: “who is she?” in the second part of the Matrix trilogy.

I cannot remember the first time I saw Monica Bellucci on screen, but I do remember thinking how sultry she looked. Monica Bellucci is the image of a voluptuous woman who is beautiful and who had nothing of the Hollywood beauty trappings.

Monica Bellucci has been a successful actress in Italy and in France for many years, but it’s only in the 2003 “The Matrix Reloaded” that most North Americans discovered the Italian seductress.

Monica seems to me to be the kind of beauty that will equal Sofia Loren’s legend as she ages. From my research, it’s difficult to determine if Monica was born on September 30 1964 or 1968. It really doesn’t matter whether she’s 39 or 43, because she looks spectacular, natural and healthy.

Monica Bellucci is my Celebrity Beauty Match Pick because there is no amount of money in the world and no super talent plastic surgeon who can create such a gorgeous woman … Monica is the natural, sultry and seductive Italian Goddess that makes men wish they were with her and women wish they looked like her.
