Rossella Como (born January 29, 1937 in Rome , † December 20, 1986 there ) was an Italian actress .

Life

Como made her debut as a television presenter at the age of seventeen on "Primo applauso" and was soon able to make her film debut (like many other talents) in a small role in the comedy Poveri ma belli - the critics praised her compassionate design of the constant advances of the cocky Ettore Manni exposed office workers. This was followed by Pietro Franciscis film Zaragoza , where she held the role of Dolores. The following year she played Iole in Don't Let Me Be Seduced , directed by Dino Risi . Other films with similar roles followed, especially in comedies: a little boring to exuberant blondes, which led to the designation of "Italian Judy Holliday ", but also left their talents unused until Como starred in Federico Fellini's 1963 Oscar-winning film Eight and Half . But they continued to let the producers play only clichéd representations that also became less extensive. In addition to Edward G. Robinson and Adolfo Celi , Como played in the Italian-Spanish production White West for Crooks . Her last film, Christmas Present , was directed by Pupi Avati in 1986.

Como was featured several times on the cover of the Italian magazine Tempo and in the magazine Radiocorriere TV. In addition to her film work, Como was also seen on stage alongside Amedeo Nazzari in 1965 , in Dino Verdes Hanno rapito il presidente . In the same year she presented the Beatles at their Italian appearances. At the beginning of the 1970s she presented folk music pieces and texts by Trilussa and Pier Paolo Pasolini on stages; a Latin American tour of the program also took place.

Como died of cancer at the age of 49.
