Early life[edit]

Ilona was born in Budapest, Hungary. Her father, László Staller,[2] left the family when she was young. She was raised by her mother, who was a midwife, and her stepfather, who was an official in the Hungarian Ministry of the Interior.

In 1964, she began working as a model for the Hungarian news agency, M.T.I. In her memoirs and in a 1999 TV interview, she claimed that she had provided the Hungarian authorities with information on American diplomats staying at a Budapest luxury hotel where she worked as a maid in the 1960s.[3] By the age of 25, and during her hotel work, she met an older Italian national named Salvatore Martini whom she later married.[4]

Pornography and show business[edit]

Naturalized by marriage and settled in Italy, Staller met pornographer Riccardo Schicchi in the early 1970s, and, beginning in 1973, achieved fame with a radio show called Voulez-vous coucher avec moi? on Radio Luna. For that program she adopted the name Cicciolina.[3] She referred to her male fanbase, and later the male members of the Italian parliament, as 'cicciolini', translating loosely as 'little tubby boys'.[5] Although she appeared in several films from 1970, she made her debut under her own name in 1975 with La liceale (aka The Teasers) by playing with Gloria Guida as her lesbian classmate.

In 1978, on the RAI show C'era due Volte, her breasts were the first to be bared live on Italian TV.[3] Staller appeared in her first hardcore pornographic film, Telefono rosso (Red telephone) in 1983. She produced the film together with Schicchi's company Diva Futura. Her memoirs were published as Confessioni erotiche di Cicciolina (Erotic confessions of Cicciolina) by Olympia Press of Milan in 1987. That same year she appeared in Carne bollente [it], called The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empress in the United States, co-starring John Holmes. The film would later create a furor when it was revealed that Holmes had tested positive for HIV prior to appearing in it.[6] Staller has appeared nude in Playboy's editions in several countries. Her first Playboy appearance was in Argentina in March 1988. Other appearances for the magazine were in the U.S. (September 1990), Hungary (June 2005), Serbia (July 2005) and Mexico (September 2005).

In 1994, she appeared in the film Replikator and, in 1996, she had a role in the Brazilian soap operaXica da Silva [pt][7] as Princess Ludovica di Castelgandolfo di Genova. In 2008, she was a contestant on the Argentine version of Strictly Come Dancing named Bailando por un Sueño.

In 1979, Staller was presented as a candidate to the Italian parliament by the Lista del Sole, Italy's first Green party. In 1985, she switched to the Partito Radicale, campaigning on a libertarian platform against nuclear energy and NATO membership, as well as for human rights. She was elected to the Italian parliament in 1987, with approximately 20,000 votes. While in office, and before the outset of the Gulf War, she offered to have sex with Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein in return for peace in the region.[8] She was not re-elected at the end of her term in 1991.[9]

In 1991, Staller was among the founders of another Italian political movement, called Partito dell'Amore ('Party of Love'), which was spearheaded by friend and fellow porn starMoana Pozzi. In January 2002, she began exploring the possibility of campaigning in Hungary, her country of birth, to represent Budapest's industrial Kőbánya district in the Hungarian parliament. However, she failed to collect enough petition signatures for a non-partisan candidacy. In the same year, she ran in local elections in Monza, Italy, promising to convert a prominent building into a gambling casino, but she attracted few votes. In 2004, she announced plans to run for mayor of Milan with a similar promise. She renewed her offer to have sex with Saddam Hussein in October 2002, when Iraq was resisting international pressure to allow inspections for weapons of mass destruction,[5] and in April 2006, she made the same offer to Osama bin Laden.[10]

In September 2011, it was revealed that Staller was eligible for and would be receiving a yearly pension of 39,000 euros from the Italian state as a result of her five years in the country's parliament.[11] Reacting to the controversy raised by the news, the former porn star, who started receiving the pension in November 2011, when she turned 60, stated: 'I earned it and I'm proud of it.'[12]

In 2012, Staller founded the Democracy, Nature and Love Party (DNA). Its objectives included the legalization of same-sex marriage, the reopening of former brothels ('closed houses'), a guaranteed minimum wage for young people, improvements to the judiciary, and the elimination of the privileges of the rich political 'caste'.

She was also a candidate – on a proposal by blogger Luca Bagatin – Administrative elections in Rome[clarification needed] on 26 and 27 May 2013 in the list Republicans and Liberals.

In popular culture[edit]

In the 1980 an erotic comics series, La Cicciolina, was made by Giovanni Romanini and Lucio Filippucci, based on the actress. [13][14]

British band Pop Will Eat Itself released a song called Touched By The Hand Of Cicciolina as an unofficial World Cup single in July 1990. The song reached number 28 in the UK singles charts. Also, an industrial 90's band, Machines of Loving Grace, paid a tribute to Cicciolina on their first, self-titled album and named a song after her.[15][16]

Brazilian musician Fausto Fawcett also wrote a song in tribute to Cicciolina, entitled 'Cicciolina (O Cio Eterno)', present in his 1989 album Império dos Sentidos.

Musical career[edit]

Staller has recorded several songs, mostly from live performances, with explicit lyrics being sung to a children's melody. Her most famous song is 'Muscolo rosso [it]', a song entirely dedicated to il cazzo, which means 'the dick' in Italian. Because of its extensive use of profanity, the song could not be released in Italy, but became a hit in other countries, especially in France. The song gained considerable popularity in the internet era, when many Italian speakers were able to hear it for the first time.

Several unreleased songs were recorded during her RCA period and the Diva Futura agency period. Some of these unreleased songs were subsequently used during her TV shows, live performances or as soundtracks in her porn movies.

Personal life[edit]

American artist Jeff Koons persuaded her to collaborate on a series of sculptures and photographs of them having sex in many positions, settings and costumes, which were exhibited under the title Made In Heaven and made waves at the 1990 Venice Biennale. Staller married Koons in 1991.[17] In 1992 they had a son, Ludwig, but separated the following year, partly because Staller refused to stop making porn. Their marriage ended in 1994. In violation of a US court order, Staller left the US for Italy, taking their then-two-year-old son, Ludwig.[18][19][20]A lengthy custody battle ensued. Staller alleged Koons had subjected her to physical and emotional abuse. Claiming he was the victim of child abduction, Koons fought a decade-long but unsuccessful legal battle which cost him millions of dollars. He was so furious with his ex-wife that he destroyed all the remaining works he had from their Made In Heaven collaboration.[citation needed] In 2008, Staller filed suit against Koons for failing to pay child support.[3][21]

Michael James Owen Pallett (born September 7, 1979) is a Canadian composer, violinist, keyboardist, and vocalist, who performs solo as Owen Pallett or, before 2010, under the name Final Fantasy. As Final Fantasy, he won the 2006 Polaris Music Prize for the album He Poos Clouds.[1]

From the age of 3, Pallett studied classical violin, and composed his first piece at age 13. A notable early composition includes some of the music for the game Traffic Department 2192; he moved on to scoring films, to composing two operas while in university. Apart from the indie music scene, he has had commissions from the Barbican, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, National Ballet of Canada, Bang on a Can, Ecstatic Music Festival, the Vancouver CBC Orchestra, and Fine Young Classicals.

On his Final Fantasy releases, Pallett has collaborated with Leon Taheny, who is credited as drummer and engineer. Following the release of Heartland, Pallett has toured with guitarist/percussionist Thomas Gill[2] and more recently with his former collaborators in Les Mouches, Rob Gordon and Matt Smith.[3]

Pallett has been noted for his live performances, wherein he plays the violin into a loop pedal. Pallett uses Max/MSP and SooperLooper to do multi-phonic looping, which sends his violin signal to amplifiers across the stage.[4]

In January 2014, Pallett and William Butler were nominated for Best Original Score at the 86th Academy Awards for their work on Her.

Career[edit]

Solo work[edit]

The name Final Fantasy, under which Pallett recorded prior to the release of Heartland, was a tribute to the well-known video game series, although he said that it is not one of his top twenty favorite games.[5]

Final Fantasy performing in 2005.

Pallett's debut album, Has a Good Home,[6] was released on February 12, 2005, by the Blocks Recording Club, a cooperative, Toronto-based record label of which he is a founding member. 'An Arrow in the Side of Final Fantasy' borrows the music from the Space Zone's final level in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. 'Adventure.exe' from this album was used in a series of 2006 commercials by Orange in the United Kingdom.< Pallett did not intend to sell the song for this purpose, but its use was authorized due to an alleged miscommunication with his record label, Tomlab.[citation needed] All of Pallett's income from this use is donated to Doctors Without Borders.

Pallett's second album, He Poos Clouds, was released in June 2006, though the video, directed by Jesse Ewles, was released on March 1, 2006. The album consists entirely of string quartet arrangements. Eight of the ten songs are about each of the schools of magic as described in the rules to the Dungeons & Dragonsfantasyrole-playing game. The album was named winner of the 2006 Polaris Music Prize. Uncomfortable with receiving a prize sponsored by a mobile phone conglomerate, Pallett gave the money away to bands he liked who needed financial assistance.[citation needed]

IN July, 2007, Pallett was interviewed on the CBC Radio One program Q, about his upcoming album, to be titled Heartland, which was to have a theme of nothingness.[7]

In 2007, the song 'This Is The Dream of Win & Regine' was used in a commercial for Wiener Stadtwerke without Pallett's permission. Instead of litigation, Pallett and his booking agent Susanne Herrndorf approached the company for sponsorship for a music festival of their curation. The resultant Maximum Black Festival featured Final Fantasy, The Dirty Projectors, Deerhoof, Frog Eyes, Max Tundra, Six Organs of Admittance and others. It played Vienna, Berlin and London. In September 2007 they did a Take-Away Show acoustic video session shot by Vincent Moon.

In October 2007 Final Fantasy released a vinyl 7' on Tomlab's Alphabet Single series ( The Letter 'X' ). The two tracks on 'X', recorded in Montreal with Zach Condon, of the band Beirut; predate the album He Poos Clouds. The tracks – 'Hey Dad' and 'What Do You Think Will Happen Next?' are both played regularly at live shows. The song 'Hey Dad' contains a melody borrowed from the Nintendo video game 'Super Mario Bros. 3'; specifically it is the music from the 'Coin Heaven' bonus/hidden stages. Also, the song is quite similar in melody, lyrics and tone to another of Pallett's songs – '→'.

In March 2008, Owen Pallett under the alias Final Fantasy, collaborated with Grizzly Bear'sEd Droste on a cover of Björk's 'Possibly Maybe' as part of Stereogum's tribute to Björk's album, Post.[8]

In Fall 2008, Pallett released two EPs. The first one, Spectrum, 14th Century, was a collaboration with Beirut. The second EP, Plays To Please, was a tribute to fellow Torontonian Alex Lukashevsky and his group Deep Dark United. On it, six Lukashevsky originals were reconfigured for a 35-piece big band, the Toronto-based St. Kitts Orchestra (which includes Drumheller's Nick Fraser, Paul Mathew of the Hidden Cameras, and a whistling Andrew Bird, among others).[9]

On December, 2009, Pallett began performing and recording under his own name. The album Heartlandwas released on Domino Records on January 12, 2010. It was mixed by New York producer Rusty Santos. Also he played Primavera Sound Festival 2010.[10] In August 2010, Pallett released a four track EP entitled A Swedish Love Story on September 28 via Domino. The tracks received substantial airplay on community radio.[11]

On November 12, 2012, Pallett tweeted that he had been working on a new album called In Conflict.[12] The album, his fourth full-length recording, was released May 27, 2014.[13]

Other contributions[edit]

Pallett's previous projects included a 3-piece Toronto-based band, Les Mouches, now defunct. He also played fiddle for a short time with the Celtic rock band Enter the Haggis. He was once the violinist of another Toronto band called Picastro, and briefly played keyboard in SS Cardiacs (with Leon Taheny, Jessie Stein and Michael Small in 2005). Pallett has also recorded and toured with Jim Guthrie, The Hidden Cameras, Royal City, The Vinyl Cafe, Gentleman Reg, and Arcade Fire (he co-wrote the strings arrangement for their albums Funeral and Neon Bible).[14] One of his songs, 'This Is the Dream of Win & Regine', was inspired by the principal members of the latter group, Win Butler and Régine Chassagne,[14] and is a play on a Dntel song called, '(This Is) The Dream of Evan and Chan.'

Pallett contributed remixes for the bands Stars, Grizzly Bear and Death from Above 1979. He also wrote string arrangements for the Canadian bands Immaculate Machine, on their 2007 album, Fables, and Fucked Up, on their 2006 album Hidden World. He also wrote the string arrangements for the Beirut album The Flying Club Cup, as well as provided vocals for the track 'Cliquot'.[15] Most recently, he provided orchestration for the side project of Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner and former Rascals frontman Miles Kane, as The Last Shadow Puppets, entitled The Age of the Understatement. Pallett also conducted the London Metropolitan Orchestra in the recording of this project.

In June 2009 at Luminato, Toronto's annual festival of arts and creativity, Pallett provided part of the live soundtrack for the outdoor screening (at Yonge-Dundas Square) of the 1919 silent German horror film Tales of the Uncanny (Unheimliche Geschichten), alongside Canadian instrumental band Do Make Say Think and electronica music artist Robert Lippok from Berlin, Germany.[16]

Pallett recorded with Arcade Fire in 2010 while they were making their 2010 album The Suburbs. It later received a Grammy Award for Album of the Year.[17]

In 2009, Pallett worked with Win Butler and Régine Chassagne on the score for Richard Kelly's film The Box.[18] Pallett was also initially set to score Rabbit Hole, a film by John Cameron Mitchell,[19] but in the end the film was scored by Anton Sanko. In late 2010, Pallett was named as composer for T Magazine's 'Fourteen Actors Acting' project; he received, alongside the producers of that series, an Emmy Award for 'New Approaches to News & Documentary Programming: Arts, Lifestyle and Culture'.[20]

Pallett collaborated with John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats in 2012 when several songs from the Transcendental Youth album were performed in concert with the all-female vocal quartet Anonymous 4 and featured Pallett's arrangements for piano, guitar and voices.[21]

Pallett scored the 2013 film The Wait directed by M Blash.

Personal life[edit]

Pallett was born in Mississauga, Ontario and grew up in Milton.[22] He received an Honours Bachelor of Music for Composition from the University of Toronto in 2002.[23]

Pallett believes his work is implicitly influenced by his sexuality, saying, 'As far as whether the music I make is gay or queer, yeah, it comes from the fact that I'm gay, but that doesn't mean I'm making music about it.'[24]

Patrick Borjal, Pallett's boyfriend, began working as his manager in 2006, and formed the management company Boyfriend Management.[25]

In 2014, Pallett penned an open letter weighing in on the Jian Ghomeshi abuse scandal.[26][27]
