The Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida has passed away aged 95.
She was a but star in the 50s and 60s. I’m ashamed to say I’ve only seen two of her films, but one of them is Beat the Devil, in which she is hilarious.
R.I.P.
R.I.P. Gina. A courageous & beautiful woman, inside & out.
shareI've seen several of her films and though, to be honest, I only remember Beat The Devil I've always thought of her as a Star. The BBC has an interesting obituary: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-64292026
I'd be interested to see her films with:-
...her favourite actor: Rock Hudson.
They appeared together in romantic comedies Come September and Strange Bedfellows. After a lifetime fending off Hughes and most of Hollywood's finest, Hudson's failure to make a pass came as a shock.
"I knew right away that Rock Hudson was gay, when he did not fall in love with me," she told one reporter.
One of the most beautiful women to ever walk this planet. I first saw her in Trapeze many years ago, with Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis. RIP.
shareNever saw a film she was in, but her name is quite memorable.
Here is a clip from her appearance in The Love Boat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqpClPwpqg4
RIP
Loved her in that movie with Rock Hudson. I'm sure her son is happy. He was trying to get hold of her money.
