# Claudia Cardinale

> She was the face that launched a thousand Italian film posters — dark eyes, unpolished beauty, the third point in the triangle with Loren and Lollobrigida. Cardinale moved through Fellini, Leone, and Herzog with a cool that never quite bent to Hollywood's idea of a starlet.

## Bio

Born in Tunisia, she won a beauty contest in 1957 that came with a trip to Italy and producer Franco Cristaldi, who became her mentor and later husband. By 1960 she was in Visconti's Rocco and His Brothers; by 1963 she had Fellini's 8½ and Visconti's The Leopard behind her. Hollywood called — The Pink Panther, The Professionals, Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West — but she walked away from it, jaded, and returned to Italian and French work. She won the David di Donatello twice, the Nastro d'Argento for Claretta, and spent decades with director Pasquale Squitieri. In 1982 she was the dreamer funding Kinski's steamship in Fitzcarraldo. She kept working into her seventies, won again at Antalya in 2010, and spent her later years as a UNESCO ambassador for women's rights.
