Sofia Coppola

The incredible filmmaker Sofia Coppola is a director, screenwriter, producer, actress, model, and entrepreneur. She is the daughter of the legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, and made her film debut as an infant in her father’s masterpiece The Godfather in 1972. As a filmmaker in her own right, she is best known for The Virgin Suicides, the Oscar-winning Lost in Translation, and for the Netflix special A Very Murray Christmas.

Born in New York City, and raised in California, Coppola interned with Chanel when she was 15-years-old and then attended the California Institute of the Arts. She dropped out of college and started her own clothing line, Milkfed, and eventually followed in her father’s footsteps when she started making short films in 1998. She made her feature-film debut the following year with the critically acclaimed The Virgin Suicides, and has since gone on to make a number of well-received and often award-winning movies, such as 2003’s Lost in Translation, for which her script won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar, as well as Marie Antoinette, Somewhere, The Bling Ring, The Beguiled, On the Rocks, and the forthcoming Priscilla, which is based on Priscilla Presley’s memoir, Elvis and Me.

Coppola’s acting career began when she was an infant, making background appearances in her father’s films, and then later with more defined parts in The Outsiders, Rumble Fish, The Cotton Club, Peggy Sue Got Married, and The Godfather Part III. She also appeared in a number of music videos throughout the 1990s.

Coppola regularly connects with her hundreds of thousands of followers and fans through Instagram, posting pictures and videos of her life around the movies.
