Franco Fabrizi
Franco Fabrizi (born February 15, 1916 in Cortemaggiore , † October 18, 1995 there ) was an Italian actor .
Life
Fabrizi was the son of a hairdresser and a box office girl. A talented and successful athlete in his youth , he left his hometown after school and went to Milan, where he soon became an actor in photo novels and one of the first male models at fashion shows after the end of the Second World War .
After first stage experience in revues, a. a. In 1948 alongside Walter Chiari and in 1950 with the Silvi / Campanini / Scandurra ensemble, as well as at the Regietheater in 1951 under Luchino Visconti , he began in 1952 with regular film appearances in supporting roles. His interpretation of the provincial, pretty, but cynical woman hero "Fausto" in The Idlers , directed by Federico Fellini , made him popular, but in the following years led to quite similar offers (the untrustworthy seducer in Die joudlose Straße , the daring and deceiving husband in Four Hearts in Rome , the frivolous architect Cesare in Die Freundinnen ), and not to lead roles: Fabrizi remained the important supporting characters or the second lead role, comic or dramatic, in numerous genre and pure entertainment films, so that not many significant films under his Participation emerged. After 1975 he throttled the number of his appearances significantly; almost at the end of his career as an actor, he was given another artistically demanding and important role in Ginger and Fred .
