This review is from: Italian Movie Goddesses: Over 80 of the Greatest Women in Italian Cinema (Hardcover)

The only problems I have with _Italian Movie Goddesses_ are that it isn't long enough, and that there aren't more pictures of each of the featured actresses. The book (which, by the way, though published in Italy, is in English) reviews the lives and careers of some 80 of the leading beauties of Italian cinema since its inception. Internationally renowned stars like Sophia Loren, Gina Lollobrigida, Laura Antonelli and Claudia Cardinale are amply covered, naturally, but just as valuable is the attention that's paid to stars not as well-known outside Italy such as Silvana Pampanini, Isa Miranda, Giulietta Masina, Rossana Podesta and Alida Valli. Not merely a fine photographic collection, but an important basic reference work on actresses too seldom seen in the English-speaking world except on import tapes and DVD's. Usually very expensive, but well worth the price. Highest recommendation!
