Rebecca Miller talks about Monica
February 9, 2009
Unfortunately Monica did not attend Berlin Film Festival to promote the movie. During the press conference, director Rebecca Miller said about Ms. Bellucci:
I saw her at the Morocco Film Festival, and then I thought “My God, she’s Gigi.” So I actually wrote the script and her character thinking about her. I wasn’t sure she would accept, but she said yes.
There’s something about her that’s larger than life. She is sort of iconic. And she played the role very well, she perfectly knew how it had to be done. It was great to work with her, she is very sweet. A lovely woman.

Cecile Cassel: “To me she’s just Monica”
February 6, 2009
From a recent interview to Italian magazine GRAZIA:
“But I knew her from before, when she was a model and even today to me she’s just Monica, my brother’s wife. I don’t think of her as a diva. Our family life hasn’t changed since then, I mean our dinners, our reunions, our quarrels and problems are always the same. She’s my sister-in-law [she says it in Italian, 'cognata']. You know, family for you Italian people is very important, just as it is for us French people: you can imagine how important it can be when a French man marries an Italian woman.”
Monica talks about ‘The Private Lives of Pippa Lee’
February 2, 2009
From the IMDb boards:
“I loved the script, and I had wanted to have a chance to work with Rebecca,” says Monica Bellucci, who plays Gigi, an exotic romantic rival to the young Pippa Lee. “Even though the role was small, it was compelling. She had written it in such a way that it would give me the chance to do something interesting. While she certainly knows what she wants as a director, at the same time she loves and respects actors. She strikes a good balance between giving direction and giving an actor the freedom to explore.”
