Sara Sometti Michaels

As a child, Italy's largest lake provided scenic inspiration of grand antiquity that helped young Sara act out characters from her favorite fairy tales and animated movies. In her youth, Sara acted for fun, but her talents wouldn't lay latent. When she turned eighteen she took a chance and began taking classes to develop her acting talents. Under the tutelage of Anna D'abbraccio (mother of Mariangela D'Abbraccio, Italy's great stage actress), Sara not only learned how to fine-tune her acting talent, but also learned the not-so-glamorous realities of the industry. The rewards of being able to do stage productions such as Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Othello were the product of arduous hours of classes and rehearsals, many of which stretched across 7 consecutive days. The hard work paid great dividends, though. Sara was cast in more and more production, and very quickly it was clear that her career path had been born. With the teachings of Signora D'Abbraccio as her foundation, Sara decided to test her talents in Rome's acting circles; however, her ambition was far greater than the spoils that Rome could offer. After much consideration, her decision to move to Rome gave way to a decision to move to Hollywood, California instead. Sara quickly acclimated herself to her new surroundings and has gained a foot-hold in the film industry. Buoyed by her passion for her art, the support and the love of her family, Sara reflects on those youthful days when she would act just for fun and realizes just how far she's come.
