MINI BIO:
Dark-haired, tempestuous, wild-eyed, angry-looking, Egyptian-born (some sources say Italian-born in 1903 or 1908) actress who, raised in Rome, became Italy's top star in post-war years. Despite a matronly figure, she took Hollywood by storm with the gale-force strength of her impassioned performances. She won an Oscar for The Rose Tattoo, and Paramount invited her back twice more. She was Oscar-nominated again for Wild is the Wind. Died, amid national mourning in Italy, from complications following a gall-bladder operation.
