Claudia Cardinale turns 85: her debut in «I soliti ignoti», great love with Pasquale Squitieri, 9 secrets

She has acted in more than 180 films (the most recent, “The Island of Forgiveness” by Ridha Behi, was released last year), in 2022 they dedicated a street in Tunis to her and a few weeks ago the MoMA in New York paid homage with a retrospective. We are talking about Claudia Cardinale, one of the symbolic faces of Italian cinema, awarded during her long career – which has lasted for more than 60 years – with five David di Donatello, five Silver Ribbons, three Golden Globes and numerous other awards including the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Film Festival and the Golden Bear for Lifetime Achievement at the Berlin Film Festival. First child of Francesco Cardinale and Yolanda Greco, of Italian origins, Claudia Cardinale was born in Tunis in Tunisia (at that time a French protectorate) on April 15, 1938.
