Life
The daughter of the costume designer, writer and screenwriter Vittorio Nino Novarese and his wife, a Russian-Portuguese actress, lived in Los Angeles since 1959. After brief acting classes at the Twentieth Century Fox junior school , she made her debut in a film with Elvis Presley . She then played important roles in two American adventure films.
In 1961 she returned to Europe, where she was able to continue her career in Franco-Italian productions. She was also noticed in German films, but in the middle of the shooting of The Swedish Virgin , she had to be hospitalized in the fall of 1963 with suspected liver infection and jaundice.
In 1962 she played the leading role in Mario Bava's "The Girl Who Knew Too", the recognized first " Giallo " film alongside John Saxon .
In 1964, producer Artur Brauner chose the blonde as the leading actress for his film adaptation of the prostitute novel Fanny Hill . In the Karl May film Old Surehand 1st part she was partner of Terence Hill (still as Mario Girotti ). Described by the Süddeutsche Zeitung as “the most persistent miscast in German film”, Letitia Roman was only seen for a short time in a few American television series.
Roman turned to the financial industry after her career, working under the name Letizia Gelles as a real estate agent in Beverly Hills and serving as president of a company called Trell Corporation.
