Something wrong?She rose from wartime poverty and a Miss Rome sash to become the face that defined Italian cinema's sex appeal through two decades - then proved she could act, taking three David di Donatellos and working into her fifties for Pasolini, Visconti, and eventually David Lynch.

Silvana Mangano grew up poor during World War II, trained as a dancer, modeled, and won Miss Rome in 1946. That pageant opened the door to film, and Bitter Rice in 1949 made her a star. Through the 1950s and '60s she became one of Italy's major actresses and a reigning sex symbol, then shifted into deeper work with directors like Pier Paolo Pasolini, Luchino Visconti, Alberto Lattuada, and Vittorio De Sica. She won the David di Donatello for Best Actress three times - for The Verona Trial in 1963, The Witches in 1967, and The Scientific Cardplayer in 1972 - and took two Nastro d'Argento awards. Her career carried into the 1980s with supporting roles in Dune and Dark Eyes. She was married to producer Dino De Laurentiis and had four children, including producers Veronica and Raffaella De Laurentiis.
