Life
Zanchi moved to Bergamo at the age of 8 to live with her Italian father, where she later finished school. At 15, she backpacked all of Europe and Morocco for three years; after her return she worked as a model for important fashion companies in Milan . In 1975 she received a first film offer for Pasquale Festa Campaniles If you die, I'll be alive! , in which she was seen in a small role. The exploitation film L'uomo, la donna e la bestia - Spell (Dolce mattatoio) , a film based on erotic scenes, which followed in 1977 , drew similar offers; Zanchi became one of several actresses for the wedding of the sex and horror film. She played alongside Laura Gemser and Gabriele Tinti , under Sergio Bergonzelli and Jaime Jesús Balcázar . Your best-known film is probably the mixture of erotic and nun milieu, The Nun and the Beast . After a few years, in 1982, she limited her appearances to small and small guest roles. In 1996 she was seen for the last time in a Swiss television production, Against Drugs .
1979 released Zanchi as Angie Bee the single Plastic Doll ; a smaller career with disco titles followed.
After her public career, she and a friend took over an antique shop in Zurich.
