Contents

Early life

Bottini was born on 30 October 1981 [1] in Malnate, a town in the province of Varese, Italy. She first studied acting at the Liceo classico Ernesto Cairoli  [ it ] in Varese with Silvio Raffo and Anna Bonomi. [2] She later won a scholarship to enter the Scuola di teatro Alessandra Galante Garrone  [ it ] in Bologna, graduating with her diploma in 2007. [3]

Career

Upon graduation, she joined Teatro della Tosse  [ it ] in Genoa as one of two applicants accepted out of 300. [4] Some of her castings during this time were in Marco Manchisi  [ it ]'s Il fantoccio, [5] Alessandro Bergallo  [ it ]'s Generazioni Componibili [6] and Jon Fosse's Svevn (in Italian translation). [7]

She has collaborated with Silvio Raffo on several projects, including stage performances of Ovid's poetry [8] and other works. [9]

Bottini moved to Los Angeles, in the U.S. in 2015. She is a cast member of the Italian Comedy Club in Los Angeles. [3] Besides acting, she has also worked as a make-up artist. She worked on the Los Angeles part of the 2017 music video for "Senza Pagare" by J-Ax, Fedez, and T-Pain; the shoot also featured Paris Hilton, Pio e Amedeo, and Ferragni. [10]

Internet meme

In 2008, Bottini was in a relationship with a stock photographer. While they were vacationing in Shanghai, she modeled for several of his photos, including one with her crying. In 2011, she found that the stock photograph of her crying was being used as an Internet meme, satirizing people who complain about "First World problems" (for example, "there's not enough dressing on my salad"). Bottini initially disliked the meme as trivializing her acting career, especially since she received no royalties from them. By 2019, she told BBC News that she had reconciled with her Internet fame, and was working on a short film about the "First World Problems" character. [11]

Bottini included the meme as part of her supporting documentation when applying for a U.S. extraordinary ability visa. Her application was successful. [12]
