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

I googled "famous Tunisians" after seeing another obituary not even mentioning Cardinale's native country... and turns out that Sandra Milo, the other hottie from 8 1/2, the one from AFX's avi, is ALSO Tunisian-born Italian! Who knew... Only unlike Cardinale she actually grew up in Italy. There was a lot of movement between northern Africa and Italy in the 1930s and 1940s.
