Aria Mia Loberti
Aria Mia Loberti (born ) is an American actress and academic. She is set to star as Marie-Laure Leblanc in the Netflix film All the Light We Cannot See. She won her inaugural role from a global search of thousands of actresses. Biography 
Loberti was born and raised in Johnston, Rhode Island. Dissatisfied with her treatment in public school, her parents homeschooled her from the third through twelfth grades. Loberti attended the University of Rhode Island from 2016 to 2020. She graduated summa cum laude with three majors—Philosophy, Communication Studies, and Political Science—and minors in Ancient Greek language and Rhetoric, and completed the Honors Program. She received her master's degree in ancient rhetoric with distinction in 2021 from Royal Holloway, University of London on a Fulbright Scholarship. She began her doctoral studies in ancient rhetoric at Pennsylvania State University in 2021. Loberti will play the lead role of Marie-Laure Leblanc in the upcoming Netflix's adaptation of the 2014 novel All the Light We Cannot See. Loberti, who is also legally blind due to a severe form of the genetic condition achromatopsia, landed the part after a global search for a blind or low-vision actor. A fan of the book, she auditioned after learning about the search from a  childhood orientation and mobility teacher. Despite no acting training, Loberti beat out thousands of submission to secure the role; it is her first ever acting role and was her first audition. In September 2023, it was announced that Loberti would serve as the new face of the beauty and skincare brand L'Occitane en Provence. References
