Born Aria Argento on September 20, 1975 in Rome Italy...it seemed as if there were little choice for Asia to enter into the film industry, what with her mother being actress Daria Nicolodi and her father the famed Italian master of horror Dario Argento.

 Asia Argento is a hottie - Salon
Argento (whose first name is pronounced ah-zee-uh), takes a standard tough-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside babe role and puts some recognizable flesh on it.
I haven't seen enough of Argento's work (which includes two films, "Trauma" and the reportedly very sick "The Stendahl Syndrome," directed by her dad, Italian horror-meister Dario Argento) to say whether she's an actress -- though the way she acquits herself in "XXX" certainly suggests she has the potential to be.
Argento plays Anna, a young Italian actress trying to make her first movie as a director, and sinking into the exotic cesspool of decadence that has enthralled art-house audiences since the early '60s anomie fests of Fellini and Antonioni and Resnais.

 Filmmaker Magazine | Fall 2000: DANGEROUS BEAUTY
If Argento’s film is guilty of crimes of self-indulgence (as some critics have averred), then these transgressions are rooted in boundless enthusiasm for the possibilities of cinema – it’s no accident that she cites Alejandro Jodorowsky as an influence – and not empty narcissism.
As the material moves into progressively darker territory, Argento shifts the tone of Scarlet Diva into a hallucinatory overdrive that mirrors the drug-addled Anna’s fever-dream state of mind, but she never jettisons the fl comedy that ensures that Anna’s predicaments, however outlandish, remain recognizably human.
Argento’s adroit juggling of these multiple stylistic approaches marks her as a filmmaker with a great degree of promise.
