Simona Tabasco (born 5 April 1994) is an Italian actress. Tabasco is best known for her role as Lucia Greco on season two of the HBO black comedy-drama series The White Lotus (2021), which earned her a Primetime Emmy Award nomination. She also gained recognition for her supporting role in the Italian neo-noir film Perez. (2014) and as Elisa Russo in the Rai 1 medical drama Doc – Nelle tue mani (2020–present).

Early life[edit]

Simona Tabasco was born in Naples on 5 April 1994.[1] Tabasco is the daughter of an advertising graphic designer and an office worker. She has a twin brother named Marco.[2]

Career[edit]

In 2013, after shooting two short films at the Giffoni Film Festival, Tabasco was cast in the second season of the Italian teen drama series Fuoriclasse.[2] Broadcast on Rai 1 in March 2014,[3] Tabasco portrayed Aida Merlissi, a Muslim girl.[2] Filming for Fuoriclasse interrupted her studies at the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rome, ultimately leading to her expulsion due to repeated absences.[4]

In 2014, she made her film debut in Edoardo De Angelis's Perez., which received critical acclaim.[5] For her role as Tea, daughter of the protagonist Demetrio (portrayed by Luca Zingaretti), Tabasco was awarded the Premio Guglielmo Biraghi at the 2015 Nastro d'Argento awards.[6]

Since 2020, Tabasco has starred in the Italian medical drama Doc – Nelle tue mani, playing Elisa Russo, a resident in internal medicine.[2]

In 2022, Tabasco made her international debut in the second season of the HBO anthology series The White Lotus.[7][8][9][10] Her performance as Lucia, a sex worker in Sicily,[11] received praise.[12] CNN's Brian Lowry wrote that it "feels like a breakout role".[13] Nylon magazine deemed her the "lifeblood" of the show, writing, "Lucia's energy is so infectious, thanks to the frenzied, effortless performance from Tabasco".[14] Tabasco won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series along with the cast of The White Lotus.[15] She also received an Emmy nomination in 2023 for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal.[16]

In February 2023, Tabasco was cast opposite Sydney Sweeney in the psychological horror film Immaculate.[17]

In March 2023, Tabasco was included in Forbes magazine's annual 30 Under 30 list, which recognises the 30 most influential people in Europe under the age of 30.[18]
