Ambra Angiolini (born 22 April 1977) is an Italian actress and singer.
She made her film debut in Ferzan Özpetek's Saturn in Opposition (2007) for which she won the David di Donatello for Best Supporting Actress as well as the Nastro d'Argento for Best Supporting Actress, the Ciak d'oro and the Globo d'oro. She continued working as an actress in films like Black and White (2008), The Immature (2011), Viva l'Italia (2013), Do You Remember Me? (2014) and The Choice (2015).
On 9 October 1997, she was in Dario Fo's car recording an interview with him when a car appeared alongside them, displaying an enormous placard in the window reading "Dario, you've won the Nobel prize!", meaning Fo's initial reaction was captured on film.

She also hosted the shows Super, Non dimenticate lo spazzolino da denti and Cominciamo bene estate during the subsequent years, as well as Stasera niente MTC in MTV Italy.
Her first album was released in 1994 and it was an instant success. The following year, she recorded a Spanish version, Te pertenezco, which was a moderate hit, reaching No. 21 on the Hot Latin Songs chart of Billboard. In February 1997, she was invited to take part in the Viña del Mar International Song Festival in Chile, where she aspicy and controversial performance with it is iconic today in the festival's history.
Her follow-up album, (Angelitos in the Spanish-speaking markets), was released in 1996. Her third album was released in 1997 in Italy, and a Spanish version entitled Ritmos vitales followed in 1998. Her last album was released in 1999 only in Italy.
