Stella Malucchi (Thai: สเตลล่า มาลูกี้) is an Italian-Colombian former model and actress based in Thailand.
[1][2] Fluent in the Thai language, she has primarily worked in Thailand, and has acted in two films, Tears of the Black Tiger and Angulimala.
For her first film, Tears of the Black Tiger, she was spotted in a Thai music video by director Wisit Sasanatieng, who thought she would be perfect for the role of Rumpoey.
Through make-up and costuming, Malucchi was transformed into a young, noble-born Thai woman in 1950s Thailand.
Tests revealed that she had hyperparathyroidism, a rare disease in which a defective parathyroid gland allows dangerously high calcium levels (hypercalcaemia).
