Rosanna Schiaffino ( November 25 1938 - October 17 2009 ) was an Italian film actress and show business icon of the 1960s, appearing on covers of Italian, German, French, British and American magazines.
She was born in Genoa, Liguria. When she was 14 she won the Miss Liguria beauty contest and started playing small parts in Italian, French, and later also British films. She had become famous by the end of the 1950s for her appearance and temperamental performances. Despite the increase in nudity in films at the end of the 1960s, Schiaffino, however, refused to appear in such scenes. Her film career ended in 1977, and she dropped from public view. She was married twice: to Alfredo Bini (divorced in 1977) and to Giorgio Falck (since 1977). Rosanna Schiaffino died of cancer on October 17th 2009.
