The film world is mourning the passing of Claudia Cardinale, a silver screen icon for over half a century, who died at the age of 87, as reported by Agence France Presse.
Born Claude Joséphine Rose Cardinale in Tunis on April 15, 1938, the actress left an indelible mark on the history of cinema, appearing in over 150 films, including comedies, dramas, spaghetti westerns, and Hollywood productions. Her international fame has been recognized by numerous awards, including the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Film Festival, the Golden Bear for Lifetime Achievement at the Berlin Film Festival, the Lumière Prize, and the Flaiano Prize.
Claudia Cardinale's career began almost by chance in 1956 with Les Anneaux d'or, followed by her victory in the “Most Beautiful Italian in Tunisia” competition in 1957, which opened the doors to the Venice Film Festival for her.
Her big-screen debut came in 1958 with Goha, but her real success came with Mario Monicelli's I soliti ignoti. In the 1960s, Cardinale became a muse to directors such as Luchino Visconti, Federico Fellini, Valerio Zurlini, and Sergio Leone, cementing her status as an international cinema legend.
