Alberto Bonucci (born May 19, 1918 in Campobasso , † April 5, 1969 in Rome ) was an Italian actor .
Life
After graduating from the Accademia d'Arte Drammatica in 1946, Bonucci began working as an actor at Compagnia De Sica-Besozzi-Gioi . After further engagements in Milan and Rome he appeared in 1950 with Vittorio Caprioli and Franca Valeri in the cabaret "Rose rouge" in Paris, after the three actors had founded the "Teatro dei Gobbi". Bonucci celebrated great success there and alternately in Italy. He turned out to be an actor of dry, sometimes even surreal comedy. In 1958/59 he even played and sang in the musical Irma la Douce under the direction of Vittorio Gassman .
In addition to his numerous stage engagements, Bonucci also appeared in many radio plays, television productions and films. He was also a popular voice actor. Here, too, he was mostly committed to his comedian image. In L'amore difficile Bonucci also took over the directing an episode. He made his film debut in Luci del varietà by Alberto Lattuada and Federico Fellini , for which he was back in front of the camera almost twenty years later in his last production, Fellini's Satyricon . On April 5, 1969, Alberto Bonucci died of cancer in Rome at the age of 50.
