FABIANA UDENIO portrays Anna-Maria Mazarelli, a beautiful foreign exchange student who wants to improve her English by enrolling in a summer session of remedial language study. So impressive was Fabiana in her audition that the role of the foreign exchange student was rewritten from a Swedish to Italian student.

A former Miss Teenager of Italy, Miss Udenio first came to this country to perform at the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics Arts Festival, at which she played Miranda in "The Tempest."

Returning to Italy, she successfully auditioned for the ABC-TV daytime drama, "One Life To Live," which was being filmed on location in Venice. She returned with the company to New York where she continued for one year in the role of Julietta. After completing a role in the CBS mini-series "The Scarlet And The Black," Miss Udenio returned to Italy and swiftly won a starring role in "Hardbodies 2," which was filmed on location in Greece. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina but raised in Italy, she is fluent in four languages.
