Biography

Born in Los Angeles, California, Romina Power is the eldest daughter of American actor Tyrone Power and his second wife, Mexican-American actress Linda Christian. After her parents divorced in 1956 her mother Linda Christian took her and her sister Taryn to live all around the world but mainly in Italy and Spain where she and her sister spent much of their childhood, although Romina attended school in England. She appeared in several mainly Italian language films from the age of 14, including the notorious 1968 adaptation of the Marquis de Sade's novel Justine directed by Jesus Franco. She met her (now ex) husband Albano Carrisi whilst acting in films in the 1960s. They became a well known singing duo in Italy, Spain, Germany and USSR, achieving 7th place in the 1976 and 1985 Eurovision Song Contest for Italy. They have 4 children: a son, Yari, and 3 daughters, Ylenia Carrisi (who went missing in New Orleans in 1994), Cristel Power Carrisi (starred in the Italian Reality TV show La Fattoria (The Farm)), and Romina Carrisi (starring in the 2005 edition of the Italian Reality TV show Isola dei Famosi (Island of the Famous) with her father Al Bano). She and Albano Carrisi divorced in 1999. In 2005 she was a judge in the Italian TV show Ballando con le Stelle (known as Strictly Come Dancing in the UK and Dancing with the Stars in other countries). Between 2006 and 2007 Romina organized exhibitions of her paintings, mainly in Milan. At the same time she dedicated herself to directing of her film "Upaya" (2006). In July 2007 Romina Power bought a house in Sedona, Arizona, U.S. and decided to leave Italy forever and move to the United States. Her clamorous interview in which she revealed her plans was published in an Italian magazine Diva e donna. According to Romina, she was perceived by the Italian public merely as a performer of Il ballo del qua-qua (a song for children, from her and Al Bano's album Felicità,1982), and for her it was difficult to establish herself in Italy as a painter and writer. Furthermore, she was disturbed by intrusive attention of the local press that published multiple articles with speculations about her private life and disappearance of her daughter Ylenia [1], [2]
