The Volpi Cup for Best Actress is an award presented by the Venice Film Festival. It is given by the festival jury in honor of an actress who has delivered an outstanding performance from the films in the competition slate. It is named in honor of Count Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata, the founder of the festival. The first ceremony was held in 1932, when Helen Hayes received the Best Actress award for the title role in The Sin of Madelon Claudet – this was the only time that the award was chosen by public voting. Since its inception, the award has been given to 67 actresses. Only three of them have won more than once: Shirley MacLaine, Isabelle Huppert and Valeria Golino (pictured), who have each won the cup twice. Ariane Ascaride is the most recent winner in this category, for her portrayal of Sylvie in Gloria Mundi at the 2019 festival. (Full list...)
