She made a profound impact with her impressive role opposite Wesley Snipes in JUNGLE FEVER, Spike Lee's ground-breaking story of a young mixed-race relationship.

She next starred in the Peter Medak film ROMEO IS BLEEDING opposite Gary Oldman and in Abel Ferrara's THE ADDICTION. She worked with Ferrara again, this time as actress and Associate Producer, in his period piece, THE FUNERAL, opposite Christopher Walken.
Annabella received critical acclaim for her role as the beleaguered wife of a police officer in a small New Jersey town in COPLAND. She starred opposite Robert DeNiro and Sylvester Stallone in the highly praised drama, which was written and directed by James Mangold.
Additional film credits include the romantic comedy MR. JEALOUSY opposite Eric Stoltz, the fantasy drama WHAT DREAMS MAY COME Robin Williams and Cuba Gooding Jr., the Italian film DOMENICA which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival, the dark psychological fare, UNDERWORLD alongside Joe Mantegna and Dennis Leary for director Roger Christian, THE INNOCENT SLEEP, WHISPERS IN THE DARK, INTERNAL AFFAIRS, TRUE LOVE, THE NIGHT WE NEVER MET, THE HARD WAY, KING OF THE JUNGLE with John Leguizamo and Rosie Perez and ONCE IN THE LIFE directed by Laurence Fishburne.
Annabella received an Emmy® nomination for her highly acclaimed performance in the role of "Gloria Trillo" on HBO's THE SOPRANOS, opposite James Gandolfini. She also appeared in the CBS original film JENIFER, based on the inspiring true story of Jenifer Estess and her sisters.
Annabella will soon begin work on the Off-Broadway show ROAR at The New Group, directed by Tony-nominated director Marion McClinton. She most recently appeared on stage at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in UNDER THE BLUE SKY. While growing up in Connecticut and New York, Annabella was trained in both classic dance and theater.
