Meet Mariangela Melato (September 19, 1941 – January 11, 2013), an Italian actress who crushed it in cinema and theater. She started hittin’ the stage in the 1960s, then jumped into films with her debut in Thomas e gli indemoniati (1969), directed by Pupi Avati.
The 1970s were her prime time, starrin’ in bangers like Between Miracles (1971), The Seduction of Mimi (1972), Love and Anarchy (1973), Nada (1974), Todo modo (1976), and Il gatto (1978). She also popped up in some American flicks. Sadly, she passed away from pancreatic cancer at 71.
