Anamaria Vartolomei, actress: “I could have chosen a French name, Annemarie, but I am Anamaria, I don’t need to change.”
On a spring day, on April 9th, Anamaria was born, the first child of a Romanian couple. Like more than 2 million other Romanians, the young parents, driven by the desire to give their daughter a better life, went to work abroad when Anamaria was merely 2 years old.
