Jessica Moore (born Luciana Ottaviani on August 8, 1967) is a retired Italian actress who was active from 1986 to 1989, appearing mainly in erotic drama and horror films.
[1] She entered film by chance, introduced by Pamela Prati and her model agency to Joe D'Amato, for whom she debuted in Convent of Sinners (1986) under her birthname, acting in a supporting role as Sister Ursula.
The film turned its model, Adrian Lyne's 9-1/2 Weeks, on its head by swapping the gender roles and was successful internationally.
[5] Moore remembers that she was jestingly dubbed "la campagnola" ("the country girl") on set since she was ashamed and hesitant before becoming jaunty in the end.
[3] She also remembers trusting D'Amato and feeling very much at her ease but also that he made certain "jokes" and "editing tricks" and a number of shots that she did not like.
