Stefania Orion

Stefania Orion, born on July 20th, 1988 in Ljubljana, is Slovenian actress and fashion model. She grew up in a small town of Skofja Loka in a big working class family with two brothers and one sister. During the war her parents emigrated to Slovenia from Bosnia and Herzegovina and that makes her a fluent speaker of Slovenian and Serbo-Croatian language, now fluent in English too. From an early age Stefania was in the limelight, hosting school events, attending acting classes and always loved to perform, but on the other hand she was very obstinate, stubborn and often hard to understand. At school she was always exemplary, independent and creative. After she graduated from high school, at her age of 20, she decided to go to New York to pursue acting career. In 2009 she started to study acting at New York Film Academy, but that lasted only for a short time since her parents weren't able to support her financially so she had to return back home. In desperation she then enrolled to study journalism in Ljubljana and in four years successfully graduated. During her studies she already worked as a TV journalist and immediately after the graduation she started hosting a TV show called Future Bride (Bodoca nevesta), for which she wrote the screenplay and produced it. Her modeling career was present during all times. She started when she was 18 and participated in many fashion shows worldwide. Therefore, Stefania describes that modeling was never a priority, because she never liked the way how she was treated as a model. Eventhough modeling for Stefania was just a way to make living, she still has a successful career and is considered as a top model in her home country as well as in other European markets (mostly in Milan, Italy where she got the opportunity to work with biggest fashion houses). The path took her even to Shanghai, China where she lived and worked as a model for a short time. In early 2017 she moved to London to give herself another chance on chasing her dreams and started a new life. Stefania has appeared as an actress in a few short movies and commercials, and has just finished filming one feature film (waiting to be released). Since Stefania has always been fascinated by the stars and universe she adopted the surname Orion (born Bojic), to express her emotion of not belonging to any place or anyone at all. She is curious and creative, loves travelling and learning about new things, with a particular interest in art, astronomy/cosmology, anthropology, Hinduism and spirituality. She also enjoys dancing, horse riding and hiking. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Agent
