Simply one of the most beautiful women to ever live.

Claudia Cardinale, a leading lady of Italian cinema in the 1960s, whose voluptuous beauty was celebrated by the film directors Luchino Visconti, Sergio Leone and Federico Fellini as she drew acclaim as Italy’s “dream girl,” has died on Tuesday in Nemours, France. She was 87.

The obituaries predictably understate the role of Tunisia in her life but she was born there (to Italian parents) and thought of herself as Tunisian, something you can hear in her beautiful French. She learned Italian only much later in life, so she could become an Italian film star!

Incidentally she appears in the film from which AFX's avi is taken, Fellini's 8 1/2
