Claudia Cardinale: 40 Photos Celebrating the Italian Cinema and Style Siren
Claudia Cardinale has died at the age 87: The Italian diva par excellence, the face of ’60s Italian cinema and beyond, considered both the girl next door and a figure of mass sex appeal, and an enduring style icon. Across over 150 screen and theatrical roles, Cardinale was celebrated for her work in films by the Italian director greats, from Luchino Visconti, to Sergio Leone, and Federico Fellini, hitting it big in Hollywood in Blake Edwards’s classic The Pink Panther and Leone’s Once Upon A Time In the West. Beside Sophia Loren and Anna Magnani, Cardinale was a symbol of Italian cinema’s golden age.
