Born #OTD 1938: Claudia Cardinale

Claudia Cardinale by Angelo Frontoni

Italian actress Claudia Cardinale achieved considerable fame in Hollywood between 1963 and 1968 before dedicating herself to Italian and French cinema. Born unto Sicilian parents in French Tunisia, Signorina Cardinale possesses fluency in five languages: French, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, and English. During her time in the Hollywood realm, she starred alongside notable figures such as Rock Hudson, Anthony Quinn, Rod Steiger, John Wayne, and Rita Hayworth (the latter two in 1964’s 'Circus World'). Cardinale continued to grace the screen as late as appearing in a Swiss television mini-series in 2020. Let us raise our voices in hope the esteemed lady is having a wonderful 86th celebration of life.
