Cosima is played by Nancy Cartwright , the Executive Producer and Writer of . Her character was inspired by a homeless man that Nancy met on her adventures through Italy. He had been an actor who had worked as an extra on Felliniโs โSatyriconโ, named Cosmo.
Back in 1985, Nancy had no idea that one of her acting teachers recommending Italian director Federico Felliniโs 1954 film โLa Stradaโ would have such a deep impact on her life. After developing a connection to the drama and its characters, she made it her mission to turn it into a one-woman show and even reached out to Fellini himself to gain rights to the movie. But when his officeโs response turned her down, she didnโt take โnoโ for answer, and soon she was in Italy in search of the filmmaker.
โIโd never been to Italy before. Iโm in my 20sโthough I canโt speak the language. So, I took off. I ate, I drank, I fell in loveโI did everything a single woman should and shouldnโt do when visiting. I got in trouble.โ says Nancy.
The character Beppi is played by actor Bruno Zanin who played Titta, the lead role in Felliniโs Oscar winning โAmarcord.โ
