This curvaceous and sultry Italian beauty used to play feisty, hot-headed heroines in 60s’ and 70s’ westerns --- a genre best known for its testosterone-fuelled gun-fight scenes --- like The Professionals and Once Upon A Time in The West but she's equally famous for her roles in Il Gattopardo (The Leopard) and The Pink Panther ( Hmm, she does look feline ! ) as well as in Fellini's 8 1/2. She sizzles in the steamy scenes and posed for some sexy photoshoots but probably never bared herself on camera --a shame-- which is why a couple of fuzzy shots taken on the beach ( I guess the paparazzi didn’t have good photographic equipment in those days ) are apparently the only topless pix there are on her !


Here's her biography at http://www.superallsex.com/cardinale/biography1.htm and http://www.mutoworld.com/Cardinale.htm and her filmography at http://cinedestin.privatedns.com/actrices/cardinale.htm :
