"My parents are Italian and British. They live in Berkeley now - we all moved there four years ago"
About this Quote
Then she pivots to Berkeley, and the temperature changes. Berkeley isn’t just a place; it’s a signal. It conjures politics, academia, wellness, parenting, a certain progressive insulation. When she adds “we all moved there four years ago,” the sentence quietly renegotiates celebrity. Not Los Angeles, not London - a college town with a reputation for ideas over industry. The subtext is stability and intention: a family decision, not a career move. Even “now” does work, implying a life in chapters, as if addresses are eras.
As an actress, Forlani is also managing the public’s hunger for origin stories without feeding it drama. No scandal, no reinvention speech - just ancestry, relocation, and a timeline. It’s an interview-friendly micro-narrative that says: I’m worldly but rooted, public but domesticated, interesting without being loud. In a culture that treats fame as perpetual performance, the restraint is the point.
