Apollonia actress only 16
When she was in this film. The fact that she is the only actor in the film with a nude scene must have been discussed somewhere. Never knew she was that young until now.
shareExcellent bosoms.

Damn . How did they get away with that
shareShe was born in 1954, says IMDb. I think she is very beautiful in this recent photo.

Damn, she looks insanely good (if that's actually a recent pic)!
shareThat photo is of Ornella Muti just so you know. And that one isn’t even current.
shareAh, that makes a bit more sense now you say it. I actually watched a young Muti a few nights ago in The Nun and the Devil.
shareWhere did you see this? Was it any good? Some were good and some were horrible. Tales of Ordinary Madness, Swann in Love, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Girl from Trieste I think were good. American movie were Oscar and Once upon a Crime.
She was Princess Aura in Flash Gordon - which I found out was Queen Elizabeth’s favorite movie.
I own the 88 Films Blu-ray (I think it's on YouTube - although that version might be edited/censored). It's actually one of the best nunsploitation I've seen because it's also a very well-made, well-written, and well-acted movie. I rated it 8/10.
Here's what I wrote on MC about it if you're interested. https://moviechat.org/tt0070404/Le-monache-di-SantArcangelo/66ff4ee6fdeeb1714615ebdd/As-far-as-production-values-go-one-of-the-very-best-nunsploitation-films
Flash Gordon was the Queen's favourite film? Maybe she had a crush on Sam Jones!
That’s not her. That is the ever so exquisite Ornella Muti. It even says so in the comments. And in my opinion should have played Apollonia as the novel’s description applied more to Ornella. You are getting your Italian actresses mixed up.
The actress who did play Apollonia, Simonetta Stefanelli, does have a daughter who is an actress and was with Clooney in The American. Violante Placido.
Oops, I did not scroll down to the comments. Well, Ornella sure looks nice and I stand corrected.
shareIt’s not that big of a deal. Ornella Muti and Virna Lisi were the two most beautiful Italian actresses - actually any actress. I always thought that Ornella should have played Apollonia (she was so much better looking and matched the description in the novel) and that Virna Lisi should have played in Bond movie From Russian with Love (same thing).
