Legendary Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida died on January 16 at the age of 95. This is very sad. At that age, I thought she would live forever. :-) I'm a big fan and not just her PEPLUM movies.
Gina wasn't just a beautiful woman, she was also a dancer, a singer, a photographer and a sculptor. Rest in peace. Gina!
A sultry Gina starred in FANFAN LA TULIPE (1952)
Gina starred with Errol Flynn in CROSSED SWORDS (1954)
Gina played Esmeralda in THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (1956) with Anthony Quinn. She was excellent in this. The dance sequence is memorable.
SOLOMON AND SHEBA (1959) was one of Gina's biggest films, starring Yul Brynner as Solomon. Her costumes were out of this world.
Gina played Pauline Bonaparte in IMPERIAL VENUS (1962)
Horst Buchholz and Gina starred in CERVANTES (1967)
List of movies:
AQUILA NERA (1946)

Very sad, but she lived a long and productive life. Her work for the Italian-American community was admirable. A beautiful woman -- I fell under her spell in the Quinn Hunchback film.
I e-mailed TCM to request to show some of her movies.
Ciao Gina, Resquiescat in pace.
