About Sofia Coppola in brief
Sofia Carmina Coppola is an American screenwriter, director, producer, and actress. She made her film debut as an infant in her father’s film, The Godfather. Her performance in the latter film was severely criticized, and she turned her attention to filmmaking. In 2004, she received the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for the comedy-drama Lost in Translation. In 2010, with the drama Somewhere, she became the first American woman to win the Golden Lion, the top prize at the Venice Film Festival. In 2013, she directed the satirical crime film The Bling Ring, based on the crime ring of the same name. At the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, she won the Best Director award for her work on the drama film The Beguiled. She is the youngest child and only daughter of documentarian Eleanor and filmmaker Francis Ford Coppolas. Her aunt Talia Shire, and her first cousins Nicolas Cage and Jason Schwartzman also live in Hollywood. She has said that she never really wanted to act and only did it to help out when her father asked her to and it has also been suggested that Sofia’s role in the film may have contributed to its box office box office success. Her stage name is Domino, which she adopted at the time because she thought it was glamorous. She graduated from St. Helena High School in 1989. She later attended Mills College and the California Institute of the Arts. At 15, she interned with Chanel and started a clothing line called Milkfed, which is now sold exclusively in Japan. Her father also directed a short film entitled Life Without Zoe, released as part of a tripartite anthology film New York Stories, which was co-written by a teenage Coplola and her father; her father alsodirected the film.
She also appeared in Peggy Sue Got Married and portrayed Mary Corleone, the daughter of Michael Corleones, in TheGodfather Part III. She appeared in The Outsiders and Frankenweenie, in which she portrayed Kathleen Turner’s sister Nancy. She was the first actress to appear in a film that was not associated with her father, but it often goes unnoted due to her stage name Domino. She had many varying interests growing up, including fashion, photography, music, and design, and didn’t initially intend to become a film-maker until she made her first short film Lick the Star in 1998. Her first feature-length directorial debut was the coming-of-age drama The Virgin Suicides, starring Kirsten Dunst as the title character. Her last film was the historical drama Marie Antoinette, starring Dunst in 2006, starring in the title role as the Duchess of Cornwall. She played an immigrant child in both the second and third Godfather films, playing Michael Correone’s daughter in the Godfather Part II and playing MichaelCorleone’s son in the third film. Her mother observed in a series of diaries that she had only been given the role because she was the director’s daughter, and the role placed a strain on her. It has been suggested her performance in The GodFather Part III damaged Francis Ford Ford Coppelola’s before it had even begun.
