Ilona Staller (complete name Anna Elena Staller, 26 November 1951), also known by her stage name la Cicciolina, is a Hungarian-born Italian politician, porn-star, and singer. She continued to make hard core pornographic films while in office.[1] She is famous for delivering political speeches with one breast exposed.[1][2]
[edit] Early lifeAnna Ilona was born in Budapest, Hungary. Her stepfather was an official in the Ministry of the Interior, her mother a midwife. In 1964 she began working for a Hungarian modeling agency, M.T.I. In her memoirs and in a 1999 TV interview, she claimed that she had provided Hungarian authorities with information on American diplomats staying at a Budapest luxury hotel where she worked as a maid in the late 1960s.[3] [edit] Pornography and show business careerNaturalized by marriage and settled in Italy, she met pornographer Riccardo Schicchi in the early 1970s, and, beginning in 1973, achieved fame with a radio show called "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?" (French for "Do You Want to Sleep with Me?") on Radio Luna. For that program she adopted the name "la Cicciolina," which translates, loosely, as "cuddles".[3] She has referred to her male fanbase and later the Italian parliament as "cicciolini", translating loosely as "little tubby boys".[1] Although she appeared in several films from 1970, she made her debut under her own name in 1975 with La Liceale, whose U.S. title was The Teasers, playing Monica, a lesbian classmate of Gloria Guida. In 1978, on the RAI show "C'era due Volte" her breasts were the first to be seen bared on Italian TV.[3] She appeared in her first hardcore pornographic film was "Il telefono rosso" ("The Red Telephone") in 1983. She produced the film together with Schicchi's company, Diva Futura. She was rumored to have engaged in zoophilia with a horse in the movie Cicciolina Number One[3], but her memoirs and other sources have disproved this claim.[4][5] Her memoirs were published as Confessioni erotiche di Cicciolina by the Olympia Press of Milan in 1987. That same year she appeared in Carne bollente, called The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empress in the US, co-starring John Holmes. The film would later create a furor when it was revealed that Holmes had tested positive for HIV prior to filming.[6] Staller married American sculptor Jeff Koons in 1991. Koons produced a series of sculptures and photographs of them having sex in many positions, settings and costumes, which were exhibited under the title "Made In Heaven."[7] The marriage broke up in 1992, and their son Ludwig Maximillian was born shortly afterwards. Staller left the US with the child, and a lengthy custody battle ensued. Koons won custody in 1998 but Ludwig remains with Staller in Italy. In 2008 Staller filed suit against Koons for failing to pay child support.[3][8] Staller has appeared nude in Playboy Magazine in several countries. Her first Playboy appearance was in Argentina in March 1988. Other appearances for the magazine were in the U.S. (September 1990), Hungary (June 2005), Serbia (July 2005) and Mexico (September, 2005). In 1994, she appeared in the film Replikator, and in 1996, she had a role in the Brazilian telenovela Xica da Silva.[9] In 2008 she was a contestant on the Argentine version of Strictly Come Dancing named Bailando por un Sueño. She retired after breaking a rib in rehearsals.[10] [edit] Political careerIn 1979 Staller was presented as a candidate to the Italian Parliament from the "Lista del Sole," Italy's first Green Party. In 1985 she switched to the Partito Radicale, campaigning against nuclear energy and NATO membership, for human rights, and against world hunger. She was elected to the Italian parliament in 1987, with 20,000 votes. While in office, before outset of the Gulf War she offered to have sex with Saddam Hussein if he would release his foreign hostages.[1] She was not reelected at the end of her term in 1991. In 1991, Staller was among the founders of the political movement Partito dell'Amore (Love Party), spearheaded by her friend and fellow porn star Moana Pozzi. She has advocated absolute sexual freedom - "Love for All!" She also advocated for a tax on automobiles to reduce the damages of smog and fund the defence of nature.[1] She is a strict vegan and animal rights activist.[2] In January 2002, she began exploring the possibility of campaigning in Hungary, her country of birth, to represent Budapest's industrial Kőbánya district in the Hungarian parliament. However she failed to collect enough petition signatures for a non-partisan candidacy. In the same year she ran in local elections in Monza, Italy, promising to convert a prominent building into a gambling casino, but she attracted few votes. In 2004 she announced plans to run for mayor of Milan with a similar promise. She renewed her offer to have sex with Saddam Hussein in October 2002, when Iraq was resisting international pressure to allow inspections for weapons of mass destruction, and in April 2006 made the same offer to Osama bin Laden.[1] [edit] Musical careerDuring her career, Staller has recorded several songs, mostly from her live performances. The result is generally more comic than erotic, with explicit lyrics being sung to a childish melody. Her most famous song is Muscolo Rosso, a song entirely dedicated to il cazzo, which means "the dick" in Italian. Because of its extensive use of swear words, she could never release it in Italy, but it became a hit in other countries, especially in France, where the French did not grasp the meaning of the lyrics. The song gained considerable popularity in the internet era, when many Italian speakers were able to hear it for the first time. Many unedited songs were records both during RCA period and the Diva Futura agency period. These unreleased songs were mostly used during her TV shows, live performances and adult movies.
