Adapted from Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa’s literary classic, “The Leopard” invites viewers into the world of 19th-century Sicilian aristocracy, exploring themes of power, tradition, and the inevitable waves of change.
Deva Cassel, previously known for her high-fashion appearances, is making a striking debut in the acting realm. At just twenty years old, she leaves a memorable mark in her first significant role as Angelica Sedara, a character that embodies beauty, ambition, and social transformation within the Sicilian aristocracy.
Born in Rome on September 12, 2004, Deva was destined for a life under the media spotlight. Before making her acting debut, she dominated the fashion industry, serving as the face for luxury brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Cartier, and Dior.
