CLAUDIA CARDINALE

Born: Apr 15, 1938 - Tunis, Tunisia........---"Claudia Cardinale was born in 1939. I have seen a reproduction of her birth certificate, and this has also been verified in any number of sources. 1938 is not correct."

(Ernest Farino Updates in Quotation Marks)

"The doors of cinema opened for Claudia Cardinale like for most Italian divas due to a beauty contest: She was beautiful and studied inter- pretation at the Centro Sperimentale of Rome. With only 17 years she debuted in small roles but she was widely notified with her characterization of Sicilian women. Her marks were her face, her brunette hair, her body and her typical voice. She also worked a couple of times with her husband P. Squitieri.

Emerging in the wake of Sophia Loren's international success, Claudia Cardinale was originally touted as Italy's answer to Brigitte Bardot. Born in Tunisia on April 15, 1938, Cardinale first attracted attention in 1957 after winning the "Most Beautiful Girl in Tunisia" contest; her prize was a trip to the Venice Film Festival, inspiring her to pursue a career in acting, studying at Rome's Centro Sperimentale film school."

In Volterra, Andrew meets for the first time Gianni (Jean Sorel), Sandra's brother. He soon realizes that Sandra and Gianni have a secret since their childhood.

Secrets and whisperings. All of Visconti's talent is in this movie, beautiful scenes with beautiful actors, mystery, psychological torment,... Past and present, death and life are intertwined on the screen and little by little, one starts suspecting something else... Slowly, the terrible secret so well kept within the walls of the palazzo's garden, emerges. Only "grande familie" can generate and keep secrets like that. Only Visconti, born and raised in one of them could depict that so well. Received the Grand-Prix at the Venice Film Festival.
