Kat Graham drew over 4.000 people to the first night of the Outdoor Film Festival, directed by Giuliano Squitieri. People from all over Italy gathered in San Valentino Torio, in the province of Salerno, to meet the American actress, famous for her role as Bonnie Bennett in the series The Vampire Diaries. Visibly moved by the affection received from the public, Graham showed off perfect Italian, revealing: «I would like to act with Monica Bellucci and make a film that involves food!». She also added that, if one day she were to be called for a featuring in a summer hit, she would have no doubts: «Paola Iezzi or Mina! They are strong women!».
A Multifaceted Artist
In addition to being an actress, Kat Graham is also a dancer and singer. During an interview with Daniele Giannazzo, known as Daninseries, she spoke about her passions: «My passion comes from the desire to be representative of people who don't have a voice, it's very important to me. It started as something fun and a passion, but today it's also a responsibility».
The Impact of The Vampire Diaries
The Vampire Diaries had a huge impact even before the advent of social media and continues to be followed by multiple generations. Graham hopes her popularity is attributed to her work: “I hope my popularity is due to the work that I’ve done.” She also added that she maintains strong bonds with her co-stars, saying: “I would say I’m closest to Michael Malarkey.”
New Projects and Reflections
Kat Graham is currently busy with a new TV series in which she plays a lawyer: "It may seem boring, but I love playing characters who fight for justice, dressed as a Marvel superhero or even just plain." She also shared a precious piece of advice for young people: "I always say ask yourself why you want to be successful. Do you want to be successful just to be famous? You don't have to be an artist to be famous. Always know the purpose behind everything you do first, don't let social media guide your decisions in this life. Know who you are and who you want to be first, work within yourself."
Social Commitment
In addition to being a successful artist, Kat Graham is also a supporter of UNHCR, the United Nations refugee agency. She expressed gratitude for being the woman her mother would be proud of.
