Silksoundbooks - Happy Birthday to Star Audio Book Reader Greta ScacchiBillie, on 18/02/2011 09:59:49 We’re celebrating another birthday here at Silksoundbooks. Today it's the turn of star audiobook reader Greta Scacchi who was born in Milan, Italy on February 18th 1960. Greta is the daughter of Luca Scacchi Gracco, an Italian art dealer and painter, and Pamela Carsinga, an English dancer and antiques dealer. Her parents divorced when she was four, and her mother returned to England with Greta and her two older brothers, first to London, then to Haywards Heath, West Sussex. In 1975, after her mother's remarriage to Giovanni Carsinga, the family settled in Adelaide, Australia. In 1977, Greta returned to England to follow an acting career, studying at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. Her fluency in English, French, German and Italian has made her a popular choice for European Directors - her movie debut was in the German film Das Zweite Gesich in 1982. Since then she has had major roles in films such as Heat and Dust, The Ebony Tower, The Coca Cola Kid, Presumed Innocent, The Player and Country Life. Famously, she actually turned down the leading role in Basic Instinct that was taken up by Sharon Stone! Fortunately for all of us, Greta was very keen to record The Snow Queen and other Fairy Stories as an unabridged audiobook download for Silksoundbooks! These original versions of some of Hans Christian Andersen’s best loved stories such as The Little Mermaid and The Snow Queen are brought vividly to life - only from silksoundbooks.com Happy Birthday Greta - from all of us at Silksoundbooks.
