Biography

Early life

She was born in Rho, Lombardy on 30 August 1968. Grey received a degree in Communications Sciences, Information, and Marketing as well as a master's degree in neuro-linguistic programming.

Acting career

She began her acting career in 1988 when she performed in the show Dibattito! with Gianni Ippoliti on Italia 1. She would go on to a larger role in 1990 when Antonio Ricci chose her for the role of the first sexy nurse on Striscia la Notizia , a role subsequently filled by Angela Cavagna.

After her experience in the satirical news program on Canale 5, she participated in various comedy shows on the network Fininvest, including Sabato al circo, led by Gigi e Andrea, and Yogurt - Fermenti attivi, [2] [3] which would later be replicated on Happy Channel. She also participated in a number of programs as a showgirl, including Il gioco dei 9, Il TG delle vacanze, Sabato al circo, Televiggiù and Didomenica.

Colone played a small role in the film Abbronzatissimi in 1991. In 1993, she appeared alongside Gino Bramieri in the first two seasons of the sitcom Nonno Felice , playing the cashier at the bar frequented by her grandfather. In December 1995, she declared she wanted to pursue a career as a drama actress, and therefore decided to change her image and take the stage name of Maria Michela Mari, [1] although she remained known through her first pseudonym, Sonia Grey. In 1997, she starred in Una donna in Fuga, with Gina Lollobrigida. In 1998, she starred as the main character alongside Gabriel Garko in the drama Angelo Nero, which aired on Canale 5 [4] and Telecinco with the title El Angelo Nigro, in the early evening. She later starred in the TV movie Villa Ada with Pier Francesco Pingitore, and later became a co-star in the first two seasons of Il bello delle donne as a flower girl named Palma.

Return to RAI programs on television

Sonia returned to the Italian television under the pseudonym Sonia Grey in June 2002 during the 2002 FIFA World Cup, after giving birth. The following year, she was chosen by Michele Guardì to join the cast of Mezzogiorno in famiglia.

She later published a book, Cucina in Famiglia. The following summer she rejoined the program Unomattina Estate, [5] this time as a presenter, alongside Franco Di Mare, where she remained for four seasons. On the same channel, Rai 1, she appeared in In forma con Sonia, and from 2005 she also presented Sabato & Domenica... la tv che fa bene alla salute, with Franco Di Mare and Dr. Fabrizio Duranti. [6]

In 2009-2010, the program was renamed Unomattina Weekend. During the 2010–2011 season, she became the presenter of Domenica in on Rai 1 alongside Lorella Cuccarini and Massimo Giletti. In the show, Sonia Grey hosted the segment in Domenica in... Amori. In 2011, she was also one of the judges in the Rai 1 talent show Ciak... si canta! and appeared on the prime time shows Una Voce per Padre Pio and Una notte per Caruso, both broadcast on Rai 1. Since 2012, she has been a presenter on the Web TV station Nonsolobenessere.tv in collaboration with medical and psychological well-being experts. [7]

Personal life

Her interest in science, health and medicine exists in both her professional and private life. On her website, she also explains her methods for keeping fit, partially through a healthy vegan diet.
