Asia Argento was born in Rome, Italy on September 20th, 1975, to renowned Italian horror film director Dario Argento (the son of producer Salvatore Argento) and his companion, actress Daria Nicolodi.
It was fitting that Asia, who would go on to lead a life that could only be described as unique, would find herself immediately positioned counter to the status quo: the city's registry office refused to acknowledge "Asia" as an appropriate name, and instead officially inscribed her as Aria Argento.
Nevertheless, Asia retained the name that her parents had chosen for her, and embarked on a lifestyle of eccentricity and privilege that comes with growing up in the entertainment industry. For three days following her birth, her parents projected Gone with the Wind on the living room wall.
As Asia grew older, she was gradually exposed to other genres of film, notably her father's slasher movies, beginning when she was six years old with a viewing of Deep Red -- a film which, incidentally, starred her mother. It wasn't long before the Argento household was hosting horror screenings for the neighborhood kids, the popularity of which increased after the Argentos became the first owners of a Betamax player in all of Italy.
Given her lineage and environment, it seemed natural that the young Asia be predisposed to pursuing a profession in entertainment. At the age of nine, she began following in her mother's footsteps, making her debut acting performance in Sergio Citti's Sogni e bisogni.
In 1989, she was cast in the leading role in Cristina Comencini's Zoo, for which she earned an Italian Ciak Award -- the rough equivalent of a Golden Globe. In 1989, she appeared in La Chiesa, and later that same year she played a part in Nanni Moretti's Palombella rossa.
Asia's breakthrough role came in 1992 with Le Amiche del cuore, a performance that demonstrated her range and capacity to make the transition from child actor to mature professional, capable of handling complex roles. The movie was well received at the Cannes Film Festival and by the industry community at large, including Dario Argento, who went on to cast his daughter in 1993's Trauma, her English language debut. Asia went on to act in two more of her father's films: 1996's La Sindrome di Stendhal and 1998's Il Fantasma dell'opera.
Yet any suggestions that nepotism played a role in Asia's early successes are quickly squashed by her list of awards. She received the David di Donatello (Italy's response to Hollywood's Academy Award) for Best Actress in 1994 for her performance in Perdiamoci di vista!, and again in 1996 for Compagna di viaggio, which also earned her a Grolla d'oro Award. In 1998, Asia began flaunting her talents to the West, appearing in the American movies B. Monkey and New Rose Hotel, alongside Christopher Walken.
