“Claudia Cardinale was originally intended to be Italy’s answer to Brigitte Bardot (CC versus BB) and as her only training for acting was winning “the most beautiful Italian girl in Tunisia” contest in 1957 this seemed like a reasonable kind of competition. In the end Cardinale never became as big a star as Bardot at her height but she has lasted a lot longer and starred in far better pictures. BB’s films are memorable only because she is in them; CC’s films, on the other hand, are memorable not only because she looks lovely but because they were directed by such major figures as Visconti, Fellini, Bolognini and Commencini, not to mention Sergio Leone, Blake Edwards and Richard Brooks.”

/ From The Illustrated Encyclopedia of The World’s Great Movie Stars by Ken Wlaschin, 1979 /

Buon compleanno to the glorious Claudia Cardinale (born 15 April 1938). What a career! In 1963 alone, she appeared in Federico Fellini’s 8½ and Luchino Visconti’s The Leopard! I’ve always wanted to see her play opposite Bardot (in the Western The Legend of Frenchie King (1971)) and fellow Italian goddess Monica Vitti (in Midnight Pleasures (1975) and Lucky Girls (1975)).
