Demetra Lisa Ann Hampton (C.E.1968 – living) American naturalized Italian actress and former model. Demetra Hampton: American actress and model, beauty icon; Interview by Maria Ester Campese, lagazzettadellospettacolo.it, November 21, C.E.2018. I must say that all the things that have happened in my life have happened almost by chance. I was a gymnast, then one day I was seen and chosen by the biggest modeling agent John Casablanca, founder of the Elite Model Management agency, who instantly catapulted me onto catwalks around the world. I immediately had the opportunity to model for the most important fashion designers, until I arrived in Japan. At just 17 years old, after graduating, I was already modeling as a model and was much appreciated in particular for my face which has somewhat Asian facial features, with upturned eyes. From there I did my first important advertising campaign as a testimonial for Shiseido and that was the opportunity for my real launch as a top model. My life has been, and is, full of experiences, a life that we can define as intense. I could say that perhaps I have lived three lives in one, having done so many things, and there are certainly many that I still want to do. I was welcomed very well by the Italians when I arrived, because I was chosen for the role of ValentinaThe heroine of Guido Crepax's comic.. Imagine that the decision to choose me as the protagonist fell on me, after seeing well over five thousand women who auditioned. Of course I was nervous, but the staff and the entire production knew how to put me at ease and I immediately felt integrated. I certainly remember that she was very emotional.
