Now 86 and outliving many of the Hollywood giants she once worked with, Cardinale remains strong, reflecting, “Cinema saved my life.”
As an iconic actress, Claudia Cardinale has left an indelible mark on both Italian and international cinema. Her talent, beauty, and versatility allowed her to portray a wide range of complex, memorable characters throughout her career.
