Kurzbiographie

A career that has spanned over 65 films, plays and television appearances almost too numerous to count, has earned Assumpta Serna more than twenty best actress awards around the world (Spain, France, Italy, USA, Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay). She has acted in Theatre and movies in six different languages in over 20 countries. She is a board member of the European Film Academy and both a member of the American Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences and the Spanish Academy of Cinema. She was recently elected President of AISGE, the organization in Spain that deals with the task of managing and protecting the intellectual property rights of 4600 actor members.

A few of her many films are: Almodovar's Matador, the 1993 Spanish Oscar entry The Fencing Master, her American award-winning performance in Maria Luisa Bemberg's film, I, the Worst of All, The Craft for Columbia, Sam Fuller's _Day of Reckoning (1994) (TV)_, Wild Orchid (1990), opposite Mickey Rourke, _Nostradamus (1994/I)_, with Rutger Hauer and F. Murray Abraham, Circle of Passions, with Max Von Sydow, Short Cut to Paradise with Charles Dance, and stars opposite British actor, Sean Bean, in the Napoleonic epic Sharpe's Rifles (1993) (TV), a British film-series aired on PBS.

In 1997 Serna took up writing. Her first book, Screenacting, was followed by Monologues in V.O and her third book is in the works. After the release of her first book she began teaching workshops in Universities and Film Schools on the subjects of "Acting for Camera", "Directing Actors" and "The Script and the Actor". She currently divides her time between her acting career, presidential duties at AISGE, teaching work and developing projects.
