Rule 5 Saturday - Alessandra Mastronardi - She's No Quincy

One of the odder delights on TV recenty, as we strove to fill the pre-Super Bowl show hole, was the discovery of an Italian series (subtitled in English), A'llieva (The Good Apprentice), staring Alessandra Mastronardi, as a fresh doctor studying to be a medical examiner in Rome:

Alessandra Carina Mastronardi (born February 18, 1986) is an Italian actress. She is best known for her roles in the films To Rome with Love and The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, and the television series Master of None, for which she garnered a nomination for the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 2017.

Alessandra was born in Naples, Campania, Italy, to a father from Agnone, in the province of Isernia and a mother from Naples, but was brought up in Rome after moving there at the age of five.  She attended a Classical Lyceum and then the Sapienza University of Rome where she studied performing arts. Previously she had attended a psychology course at the same institution.

Her smile is amazing.
