Luce Caponegro (born December 12, 1966, in Rome), is an Italian actress and TV presenter and a renowned former pornographic actress who also goes by her stage name of Selen, by which she is still better known today.

Early life

Her father was an Italian industrialist active in the petroleum industry. She attended courses in singing, classical dance, and horse-riding as a child. After leaving home and marrying at the age of 18, she lived in a commune without running water or heating until the age of twenty.http://www.mediaset.it/personaggio/schedapersonaggio/1040.shtml]

Career as porn star

At 20 she first ventured into the adult industry, appearing in establishments for adults and moving on to her first amateur hardcore video "Orgia di compleanno" directed by Cesare Geromini. [http://lafattoria.altervista.org/home/concorrenti/selen.htm Selen - Luce Caponegro ] ] Her decision to pursue a career in porn was driven by exhibitionism and, in her words, her passion for sex and the need to rebel against society. Her parents disapproved of her career, which was however encouraged by her then husband. Allegedly her parents moved to a new city out of embarrassment at their daughter's career choice.

From that moment her popularity grew rapidly and she adopted the stage name Selen. She has been called Italy's favourite porn star. [http://news2000.libero.it/speciali/6442.jhtml] She made appearances at the Hot D'Or pornographic festival in Cannes [ [http://www.tgcom.mediaset.it/spettacolo/articoli/articolo121187.shtml Tgcom - Articolo Tgcom ] ] and Erotica in Turin [ [http://www.deltadivenere.com/ultimate/spotlight/laveraselen.asp Deltadivenere Homepage ] ] and won 17 prizes during her career as a famous pornographic actress from 1993-98. [ [http://www.nautilus.tv/0211it/spettacolo/cinema/selen.htm Nautilus Web Magazine - Cinema 1/2003 ] ]

Her last hardcore scenes were released in 2001 with the movie "Millennium". Although her last sex scene was filmed in 1998, she continued to appear afterwards in films as clips were used in later hardcore movies. She has stated that she would not return to porn in the future – in her words, she was not enjoying the profession enough to continue. [news2000.libero.it/speciali/sp179/pg2.html] [ [http://spettacoli.tiscali.it/articoli/06/12/05/selen_intervista_maternita.html Tiscali Spettacoli - "Selen addio, sono Luce e faccio la mamma" ] ]

ex scenes

As with many porn actresses, her repertoire included anal sex, bukakke and double penetration although she is not renowned as a specialist in these techniques. Her erotic acts centred on vaginal sex and oral sex, where she demonstrated the ability to deep throat, typically culminating in facial ejaculation. As is common in heterosexual porn films, Selen's male co-stars did not wear condoms when entering her. When copulating on film, she was usually tanned with blonde hair, although she is a natural dark brunette. She mainly acted with one or sometimes two male partners at a time but also performed in a number of lesbian and solo hardcore scenes.

Directors

Selen starred in films by well-known Italian porn directors including Mario Salieri (Dracula, Sceneggiata napoletana, Concetta Licata), Silvio Bandinelli (Il rosso e il nero, Cuore di pietra) and Joe D'Amato (Selvaggia, Sahara, Selen regina degli elefanti). Another well-known film in which she took the title role was Cindy, directed by Luca Damiano. She directed or co-directed other films in which she also starred.

Co-stars

Well-known male porn actors she had intercourse with one more than one occasion include Rocco Siffredi, Zensa Raggi and the Hungarians Frank Gun and Jolth Walton. Kelly Trump was one of her lesbian partners.

Locations

Some of Selen's films were shot at exotic locations: "Selen regina degli elefanti" (Queen of the elephants) takes place in the Kenyan jungle. Selen rides elephants and makes love outdoors with Frank Gun. Sahara was filmed in the desert and includes two outdoor lovemaking scenes with Zensa Raggi and a double penetration scene with Jolth Walton and Frank Gun including a sandwich and climaxing in bukakke. The end credits feature many appealing shots of Selen posing naked in the desert sands.

Mainstream career

Although now a mainstream actress and no longer active in the branch which made her famous, she remains very popular in Italy and has given many interviews, which describe her as intelligent, shy, pleasant, good-humoured and charming in addition to being beautiful. She has had a number of supporting roles in films and mainstream television. She has presented the music programme "Hot" [ [http://www.publiweb.com/service/selen_hot.html Selen conduce Hot programma musicale ] ] [ [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1388732/ Luce Caponegro ] ] [ [http://filmitalia.org/filmography.asp?lang=ing&documentID=11177&si=2 filmitalia.org - Luce Caponegro (Aka Selen) ] ] She has made appearances in radio (hosting the show "Lezioni di sesso" (Sex Lessons) ), theatre and advertisements and in 2004, she starred in the reality show La Fattoria. TV shows she has participated in include the Maurizio Costanzo Show, Uno Mattina, Domenica In, I Fatti Vostri and Omnibus.

She has attended the Palme D'Or film festival in Cannes as a mainstream actress, at which some of her films have been shown.

The Asia Argento – vehicle film "Scarlet Diva" in which she had a small part won a Williamsburg Brooklyn Film Festival Award for Best New Director, which actually tied with two other films.

Other

She has done modelling work, often in provocative poses and various states of undress.

She has two sons, the first of whom (Kangi) was born in 1988 during her marriage with Fabio Albonetti (which has since ended in divorce). The second (Gabriele) with Nicola Zanone was born in 2006.
