Mia and Gia: The Daughters Who Inspire Joe Mantegna. Actor Joe Mantegna shares a profound bond with his daughter Mia. She was diagnosed with autism at two and a half years old. This news, he and his wife Arlene recall, "hit them like a ton of bricks" in 1990. Despite the initial shock, they embraced the challenge, focusing on providing Mia with the best possible support and advocating for her inclusion. Joe proudly notes Mia's achievements, including her work as a makeup artist for Inclusion Films. He has always seen the "burden" as a "gift" that shaped his compassion. His other daughter, Gia Mantegna, has followed in his footsteps, establishing herself as an actress.
