Greta Scacchi Fast Facts:
Before moving back to Europe to pursue acting, she worked in Australia as a "jilleroo" (sheep rustler).
Her daughter's middle name, George, comes from Scacchi's character from
Salt on Our Skin
, a film in which she costarred with Leila's father, Vincent D'Onofrio.
Turned down the lead role in the 1992 erotic thriller
Basic Instinct —
which launched Sharon Stone to international fame — because she disliked director Paul Verhoeven.
Received her Australian citizenship in 1995, 20 years after moving there with her mother and stepfather.
Became romantically involved with her first cousin Carlo Mantegazza (the son of her father's sister) in 1997. They have a son named Matteo.
