Life

The tall, expressive, brown-haired, piercing-eyed Boni was one of the most promising talents among the many new faces in Italian cinema in the 1950s. After her debut in 1952 and a number of less noteworthy utility films (the only exception being Alessandro Blasetti's Tempi nostri in 1954), Howard Hawks cast her in his monumental film Land of the Pharaohs as a slave who is saved by the son of the pyramid architect. The magazines of the time felt and portrayed the small role as the beginning of a glorious career. Boni himself did not develop any star attitudes and until the beginning of the 1960s mainly made adventure films in her home country, but also in France, Spain and Germany, which mostly entertained their audiences in a rather undemanding but reliable and enjoyable manner. Sometimes, following the taste of the time, it was run under the international sounding pseudonym Brigitte Corey .

1956 Boni was first seen in a television production, in Turgenev's Gnadenbrot under Tatiana Pavlova . In 1957 she played for the first time under Daniele D'Anza ; nine years later he wrote the script for Melissa after Francis Durbridge , with whom he had been married since 1965. Well-known collaborations were also offered by the Giallo Giocanda a golf una mattina or the musical Non cantante spara . Other television engagements included a. Enrico IV 1959 ( Claudio Fino ), Delitto impossibile 1967 ( Sergio Velitti ). In addition to Totò , she played a farce, and a cinema magazine presented her with “Cinema d'oggi”. Boni tried again and again in new roles and forms. In the theater, the first engagement was at the "Teatro del Cavegno"; four years later she played in 1960 under Georges Vitaly in Lucy Crown , in 1970 under Franco Molè in I Cenci .

After their marriage in 1965, the number and scope of their roles decreased significantly. She shot for television for a spy series by Silverio Blasi set during the Second World War in 1980. In the 1990s, works such as the series Don Fumino (1993), the miniseries Il grande fuoco (1995), an episode of the crime series Il mastino (1998) followed ) or the television film Le regazze di Miss Italia (2000).
