This is old and perhaps you’ve seen it already but it is so cold and so far from Friday that we thought was worth re-posting to brighten your (and our) day. Here is Anna Dello Russo before she was the ADR, 18, bespectacled and starring in a Marte Ricotta Forte commercial in 1980.

Here’s what she has to say about it:

“I was 18, I was in Bari, it was a hot summer after my last year of high school,” Dello Russo told Swide. “They propose me to do a COMMERCIAL VIDEO, i was excited thinking they would give me a video about fashion clothes…I got a CHEESE commercial. They paid me 100,000 of THE OLD LIRE, at the end I was happy cause I got a NEW PAIR OF SHOES.”

We are happy, too.
