| A model in her adolescence, Italian beauty Ornella Muti
posed for illustrated novels before her film bow at age 15. Ornella has
worked for such European cinematic greats as Francesco Rosi and Volker
Schlondorff; her most celebrated appearances have been in the erotic
psychological dramas directed by Marco Ferreri. The bulk of her starring
films have borne such come-hither titles as Appasionata and Bilingual
Lover. American movie fans got an eyeful of Ornella Muti as the sensuous
Princess Aura in 1980's Flash Gordon, while television fans were treated
to Ornella's formidable presence in the 1987 TV movie Casanova (1987). |
