Pier Angeli

Pier Angeli moves me in the way only briefly luminous stars can. Born in Cagliari and dead at just 39 in 1971, she won the Nastro d'Argento for her very debut and a Golden Globe as New Star of the Year for Teresa, a meteoric rise from a Sardinian girl to international screens. There is a particular ache in talent that burns bright and ends early; it tends to crystallize a person into legend. I find myself drawn to these vintage figures whose light still lingers, and Angeli's short, radiant arc lingers more than most.
