Valentina Vargas (born December 31, 1964) is a Chilean actress.[1] She began, and spent most of, her career working in France.[2]
Biography
Vargas began her career in the dramatic arts by joining the workshop of Tania Balaschova in Paris and later at the Yves Pignot School in Los Angeles. Her cinematographic career started with the filming of three works in contemporary French cinema, specifically Pierre Jolivet's Strictly Personal (1985), director Luc Besson's Big Blue (1988) and Jean-Jacques Annaud's The Name of the Rose (1986). As the 1980s and 1990s continued, Vargas continued to work in film. She appeared in Samuel Fuller in Street of No Return (1989), Miguel Littín in Los náufragos (1994) and Alfredo Arieta in Fuegos.
Vargas is trilingual, speaking Spanish, French and English.[citation needed] This has enabled her to star in films as varied as the cinematic horror film Hellraiser: Bloodline where she played the demon Angelique, to the comedy Chili con carne of Thomas Gilou.[3][4] She appeared opposite Jan Michael Vincent (Dirty Games), Malcolm McDowell and Michael Ironside (Southern Cross), and James Remar (The Tigress).
After her performance in the horror-comedy Bloody Mallory (2002), where she played "the malicious one", she began playing roles for television as well as film. She appeared in a TV miniseries version of Les Liaisons dangereuses directed by Josée Dayan. She also starred in the production alongside Catherine Deneuve, Rupert Everett, Leelee Sobieski and Nastassja Kinski.
