Claudia Cardinale

A brilliant actress would always seek to expand her horizons and will never be afraid of culturally diverse characters. Claudia Cardinale did just that—transitioning from Italian, English, and British to French films and characters like she’s just changing clothes! It must take a certain degree of talent to be like her! This multilingual actress is known for her movies like Three Strangers in Rome, Napoleone ad Austerlitz, Silver Spoon Set, Zurlini’s Girl with a Suitcase and many more.

Her struggles in her personal life and in the industry only enhanced her passion for her craft, and it still shows in her performances today. In 1995, Cardinale published her autobiography with Anne Mori, titled Io Claudia, Tu Claudia. She has also received prestigious awards such as the honorary Golden Lion at the 1993 Venice Film Festival and the Honorary Golden Bear at the 2002 Berlin Film Festival. Cardinale was also once named one of the 50 most beautiful women in film history by the Los Angeles Time Magazine in February 2011.
