Aïché Nana
Aïché Nana (actually Kiash Nanah ; * February 1936 in Beirut ; † January 29, 2014 in Rome ) was a Turkish belly dancer , stripper and actress .
Career
Nana appeared in Rome at the end of the 1950s, where in November 1958 her performance in the “Rugantino” bar in Trastevere was broken off by the police because of immoral behavior. Film recordings of the performance by Tazio Secchiaroli found their way to director Federico Fellini , who used them as inspiration for a scene in The Sweet Life . Already seen as a dancer in two films in 1956, she was used in around fifteen other films from 1965 to the mid-1980s as an erotic-exotic woman in stereotypically repeating roles. In 2008 she made the headlines for the last time when she sued a television station, which she accused of portraying her person in the film Vita da paparazzo (director: Pier Francesco Pingitore ).
Nana was married to the director Sergio Pastore for a while.
