Now, House of Gucci finally is finally in theaters, and has grossed $68.6 million worldwide.įacio, 66, has made cameo acting appearances in all but four of Scott’s films, dating back to his 1996 disaster drama White Squall (she is not in House of Gucci, alas).

It’s fair to say House of Gucci would never have been built without the moviemaking foundation laid by Giannina Facio.
