Selen
Career
Born Luce Caponegro in Rome, Selen entered hardcore film in 1992 and broke through the following year with Signore scandalose di provincia, going on to work with directors including Mario Salieri, Joe D'Amato and Luca Damiano. Press coverage of the period called her "Italy's favourite porn star." She is reported to have won 17 prizes across the Hot d'Or ceremony at Cannes and the Erotica trade show in Turin during 1993–1999, though no source located itemises the individual awards by name and year. She left hardcore film around 1999–2000 and moved into mainstream media, hosting the music programme Hot and the radio show Lezioni di Sesso, taking an acting role in Asia Argento's Scarlet Diva (2000), competing on the reality show La fattoria (2004), and appearing on L'isola dei famosi in 2024. She later co-founded a wellness centre called Luce and published an autobiography, Da bambina sognavo di volare, in 2017.
Signature: Widely reported to have won 17 industry prizes in the 1990s, but no source found itemises them individually — a reminder of how thin the paper trail is even for performers described as the era's most popular.
