After high school, in which she took the scientific course of study, also spending six years of study on the classical guitar in a Conservatory. She decided to make a go of life in Rome, to achieve success, and she began with a small part in the film "Tip Tap" (1981), and in "Verdone" (1982), in which she plays a equally small role of the girlfriend who steps out naked from a shower. It was this role that got her noticed and by 1985, nude photos of her were showing up in a variety of magazines. Over the course of her short life, she made numerous adult films, mostly in Italy. When teamed with Hungarian actress Ilona Staller, the two of them dominated Italian adult films as the perfect pair for the next five years, becoming close friends both on and off the screen.

The mainstream Italian film, "Guardami" was inspired by her true-life story. She died in Lyon, of liver cancer.
