Muti modeled as a teenager and made her film debut in 1970 in La moglie più bella (aka The Most Beautiful Wife).[2] She has primarily worked in Italian films but she made her English-speaking film debut as Princess Aura in Flash Gordon in 1980.[2] American movies she appeared in include Love and Money (1982), Casanova (1987), Wait Until Spring, Bandini (1989), A Season of Giants (1990), Oscar (1991), Once Upon a Crime (1992), Somewhere in the City (1998) and To Rome with Love (2012).[2]

Muti has been married twice, first to Alessio Orano (a fellow actor in The Most Beautiful Wife), from 1975 to 1981.[2] She was married, secondly, to Federico Fachinetti, from 1988 to 1996.[2] Muti has three children: Naike Rivelli (born 1974), a fashion model, singer, and actress; a son, Andrea, and a second daughter, Carolina, both from her marriage to Fachinetti.[2] On February 1, 2022, the actress announced that she would like to obtain Russian citizenship. "It would be nice for me to get citizenship, because it is part of my culture associated with my mother. She died this year, and it would be a gift for her," the artist said in an interview with TASS.[5]
