“In 1983, this month, Soap and Water was released, one of the comedies that brings back so many fond memories. A beautiful atmosphere, the effective presence of Sister Lellathe Red Fabrizio Bracconerithe lovable one Florinda Bolkan and many people from Trastevere and Testaccini as generic speakers. This is how the post that Carlo Verdone published on his social media begins. In the photo, a young girl with a smile that expands her heart and the sea in the background.
A young newcomer
“The photo you see – continues Verdone – I found it a few months ago in an old album and it is the face of the debut protagonist Natasha Hovey. I met her purely by chance in my agency on Via dei Banchi Vecchi (in the historic center of Rome, editor’s note). He was with his Dutch mother to ask my agent for advice. Natasha, born in Beirut, had an American father, a musician, who lived in Boston.
The first role
The actor and director recalls that he was struck by “the face of this then 16-year-old girl, who radiated sweetness and grace.” He was elegant in everything and the radiance of his smile was simply enchanting. After a long audition, I convinced her to accept her first role in a film, although she was shy and reserved. But we succeeded and together we built a perfect duet.”

The picture
“I took this photo of him,” he explains, “during a break from Compagni di scuola” on the Ostia coast. And It makes me so nostalgic for the tyranny of time passing ever faster. Now he lives between Miami and Paris, I think. She is married and should have three children.
The complaint
“Unfortunately we lost our contacts. But I wish her all the best and that she always keeps the gentleness in her face that is the reflection of her character, her soul. Perhaps – Verdone concludes – she will appear when she reads this article. Perhaps. I wish you all a nice evening.
