Monica Bellucci, a native of Italy, is among the most gorgeous actresses in the movie industry. Before she started acting, she's a famous model in Italy. She worked for big firms such as French ELLE and Dolce & Gabbana and appeared on several issues of men's magazines like Maxim.

In the early 1990s, she became a part of the film "Bram Stoker's Dracula". Her character as among Dracula's wives marked the beginning of her successful acting career. After that stint, Monica starred in the films "Malena" and "Irreversible". However, more people recognized her when she played Persephone in the movies "The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Matrix Revolutions". Moreover, she portrayed Mary Magdalene in the movie "The Passion of the Christ", a role which almost shocked her fans and some movie critics simply because it was a total shift in character as far as her previously portrayed image is concerned.
