Luce Caponegro, better known by her stage name Selen, was born on December 17, 1966, in Rome, Italy. Daughter of a petroleum industrialist, she studied singing, dance, and horse riding in her youth. Married at 18, she lived in a commune until age 20, when she entered the adult film industry with 'Orgia di natale' in 1986, directed by Cesare Geromini.
Her major breakthrough arrived in 1993 with 'Signore Scandalose di Provincia' by Alex Perry, cementing her as Italy's premier porn star. Between 1993 and 1999, she amassed 17 awards at events like the Hot d'Or in Cannes. She collaborated with renowned directors such as Mario Salieri ('Dracula'), Joe D'Amato ('Selvaggia'), and Luca Damiano.
Her final hardcore film was 'Millennium' in 2000. Transitioning to mainstream, Selen hosted TV's 'Hot,' radio's 'Lezioni di Sesso,' appeared on reality show 'La Fattoria' (2004), and starred in Asia Argento's 'Scarlet Diva.' A mother of two sons, Kangi (1988) and Gabriele (2006), she now resides in Romagna, focusing on family and declining porn returns.
