Stefania Sandrelli and
Marcello Mastroianni in
Divorzio all'italiana/Divorce, Italian Style (Pietro Germi, 1961).
Sensual, vivacious and very talented Italian actress
Stefania Sandrelli (1946) is famous for her roles in the Commedia all'Italiana. She was 15 years old when she had her breakthrough opposite Marcello Mastroianni in the Oscar-winning comedy
Divorzio all'italiana/Divorce, Italian Style (1961). Later she also played dramatic roles in Italian classics like Ettore Scola's
C'eravamo tanto amati, and Bernardo Bertolucci’s
Il conformista/The Conformist (1970) and
Novecento/1900 (1976).
Film actor
Marcello Mastroianni (1924-1996) was Italy's favourite leading man since the 1950s, as well as one of the finest actors of European cinema. In his long and prolific career, Mastroianni almost singlehandedly defined the contemporary type of Latin lover, then proceeded to redefine it a dozen times and finally parodied it and played it against type.
