Argento is best known for her roles in the movies XXX (2002), Land of the Dead (2005) and Marie Antoinette (2006).
Argento was in a relationship with celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain from early 2017 until his suicide in 2018.[2][3]
In the #MeToo movement she is thought to be one of the most vocal leaders of the movement. She was one of the many women abused by Harvey Weinstein.[4]
In August 2018, an article published in The New York Times revealed that she sexually assaulted Jimmy Bennett, a then 17-year-old actor and musician, in a California hotel in 2013, and arranged to pay $380,000 to her accuser.[5]
