Silvia Dionisio

Born in Rome, Dionisio made her acting debut when she was only 14 years old in John Schlesinger's Darling. The first director who gave her significant roles was Ruggero Deodato, who later became her husband. She got her first leading role in 1969, in Eat It. Mainly cast in roles of unscrupulous and luscious women, she mostly starred in comedies and crime films. In the early 1980s, she left the film industry; her last appearance was in a liqueur commercial directed by Federico Fellini. == Selected filmography ==
