My Take
Mariangela Melato belongs to that rare class of actresses who could be fierce and seductive in the same breath. I will always associate her with Lina Wertmuller's films, where her wit and intensity gave those stories their charge. Trained on the stage and decorated with the David di Donatello and the Nastro d'Argento, she had craft to match her charisma. She passed in 2013, but her performances refuse to age. What draws me to her is the refusal to be tamed on screen, a quality that makes her unforgettable to me.
