Over the next few years, Lorenza perfected her craft and worked on about a dozen films —some of them with ex-husband Eli Roth, who she met on the set of Aftershock. The House with a Clock in Its Walls, starring Jack Black, was one of the biggest films she had done —until she booked the role of Francesca Capucci in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and directed by Quentin Tarantino. "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is one of those one-in-a-billion chances. It's the thing you dream of as an actor," says Lorenza. Not only did she have the opportunity to work with an amazing cast of actors, but with her dream director. "I'm a massive fan. Everyone in this film is incredibly talented. It was a tremendous experience." Lorenza did a fabulous job with bringing Francesca to life on the big screen. "She is based on all the starlets of the 60s in Italy," she explains. "We tried to do something different. She is very funny, full of life —a person who walks into the room and takes over." Lorenza was excited to play with this role and explore the '60s. Like most of the characters she has portrayed, Lorenza had a few things in common with Francesca. Though, the actress wishes she was more like her Once Upon a Time in Hollywood character. "She really doesn't care and just enjoys and lives life, and there is a great beauty to that." Lorenza just finished filming Women is Losers. Slated for release in 2020, this is her first time producing a movie. "I learn so much from each project that I do," she said. "There is a lot of research and understanding the world I'm going to be living in and submerging myself into it."
