The dazzling career of this iconic Italian actress spanned more than six decades, during which she left an indelible mark on the industry with her immense talent, outstanding acting skills, and charisma.
Some of the hits she starred in include “Once Upon a Time in the West,” “Girl with a Suitcase,” “Don’t Make Waves,” and more.
Few know that she was born into a family of polyglots and was expected to pursue a career as a teacher.
She was so beautiful that she soon won the title of the most beautiful Italian girl in Tunisia, which opened many doors for her.
Her producer was Franco Cristaldi, who signed an 18-year contract with the future film legend and later became her husband.
Her breakthrough role was in “Three Strangers in Rome,” which led to major roles in “Rocco and His Brothers” and “The Leopard.”
She had to contend with Hollywood standards, which put considerable pressure on her.
She later separated from Cristaldi and soon found love with director Pasquale Squitieri.
Claudia served as a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador and continued her dedicated work in film.
Today, she lives with her relatives and has learned to prioritize her health over societal expectations and general norms.
Her role in the film industry is indeed irreplaceable.
