The actress who played Drusilla is an English born European cult favorite named Teresa Ann Savoy. She is one of the most beautiful and sexiest young women to have ever graced the silver-screen although she is hardly known at all in the United States.
At the age of 16 she fled her home and lived in a Sicilian hippie commune which is where she was discovered. Her entire career existed of only 11 films as well as 8 TV movies or mini-series since the life-style of a famous movie actress was not her cup of tea. She also refused to do interviews with the press. All of her work was done in Europe which probably explains her virtual complete anonymity in the States.
She is best known for her role as Drusilla. She plays a leading role in another Tinto Brass project called "Salon Kitty" which was finally released on Blu-ray (Region A) in its uncut version in 2015. "Private Vices, Public Pleasures" is due for a Blu-ray release in the States in which Miss Savoy plays a hermaphrodite.
She is also well known in Europe for her film appearances in "Bambina" where she plays an emotionally-disturbed childlike sexually obsessed adolescent, and "The Tyrants Heart" where she plays the leading role in an historical drama.
None of her work is available on Blu-ray or DVD that this viewer is aware of with the exception of the Blu-rays already mentioned. The uncut version of "Caligula" is now going for $80.00 on Amazon.
Despite appearing in mostly art and "kinky" European films, adolescent friends recall her as a sweet and down-to-earth English girl. Viewers of "Salon Kitty" will notice just how "sweet" she appears to be.
