Laura Antonelli

Laura Antonelli is one of those performers who defined an entire era of European cinema almost by accident — she started as a model and physical education teacher before stumbling into film, and yet she became the face of Italian erotic comedy in the 1970s in a way that felt completely natural and never cheap. Malizia from 1973 is the movie that made her a household name, and watching it you understand immediately why: there's a warmth and wit to her that keeps the whole thing from being mere exploitation. She won the David di Donatello for Best Supporting Actress in 1981 and took home a Nastro d'Argento for Best Actress, which proves the industry knew she was more than just a pretty face on a poster. Her career faded as tastes shifted in the 1980s, and she passed away in 2015, but in her prime she had a kind of sun-drenched Mediterranean charisma that the screen could barely contain.
