![The Canadian stunner has proven to be a Jill of all trades and, well, we love her in all of them. By <a href="http://sharpformen.com/author/andrew-hunter/">Andrew Hunter</a><div id='nr_fo_top_of_post'></div><p><strong>Name:</strong> Elisabetta Fantone</p>
<p><strong>Occupation:</strong> Actress/artist/author/model/singer/quintuple threat</p>
<p><strong>Hometown:</strong> Montreal, QC/Macchiagodena, Italy</p>
<p><strong>Where you’ve seen her:</strong> Quebec’s <em>Loft Story 2</em></p>
<p><strong>Where you will see her:</strong> <em>My Name is Sandy</em>, a gritty drama about a French immigrant’s misadventures as a prostitute in New York City. The film’s format is similar to that of <em>Interview With a Vampire</em>, but the conversation is with a prostitute (Fantone) instead. Fun.</p>
<p>Fantone will talk to you for however long you want about her art work. The one-time reality star has been commissioned by The Kardashians—apparently reality stars look out for each other—to paint their portrait. She’s hung in galleries, and her works sold for thousands of dollars. Still, despite her blossoming career as Miami’s newest pop art virtuoso, she’s more happy to talk about her acting. “Everything I do is pretty much linked. I’m really passionate about acting and the film industry, and it reflects in my paintings. I get inspired by icons, by films and celebrities. Anything that inspires me in showbiz, I put on canvas.”</p>
<p>It was only a month or two after moving to Miami that The Sisters Kardashian contacted her. That portrait hangs in the their South Beach boutique Dash to this day. “It was great. It really motivated me because I was unsure if I should have left Montreal and the life that I had there for Miami, where no one knew me, and start my life all over.” As it turns out, Fantone’s leap of faith paid off in dividends.</p>
<p>Annoying as it was for Fantone to be deemed Quebec’s reality television darling after her stint on <em>Loft Story 2</em>, it was indefinitely what led her to her latest film project, which she talks about with enthusiastic pride. “The part of Sandy [in <em>My Name is Sandy</em>] is a very emotionally twisted character. Many people asked me about the required sexually-explicit content for the film, but I didn’t find that was the hardest part of filming. The hardest part for me was detaching myself from the character once filming was done because I became so attached to her. I gave the role all of my energy.”</p>
<p>As evidence of her cerebral approach to her art (the acting one, that is) Fantone recently travelled to New York for business and was emotionally affected by being in the city where she came to be Sandy. “Just being in New York, I kind of started acting like my character.” Having said this, Fantone is adamant about never resorting to Sandy’s route of employment after filming was completed. “It was the heaviest role that I have taken on and I’m wondering if I happen to take on another dark role like Sandy whether the same thing will happen to me or not.”</p>
<p>Whatever the role, Canadian reality television star, painter, singer or prostitute, we at <em>Sharp</em> are just happy to see this really beautiful chameleon do her thing.</p>
