Oh yeah, she was something all right. I remember seeing her in some terrible movie with Rock Hudson (looked it up: A FINE PAIR...no comment) where the only scene I remember had her writhing in pain from excessive heat and Rock cooling her down by dousing her with a seltzer bottle.
NOW I see that I should have been writing about Claudia Cardinale. My apologies even though I'm glad I took the opportunity to express my admiration for Marsha Hunt, so talented and so beautiful who was Blacklisted out of work for many years thanks to bellering Joe McCarthy and who is still talented and beautiful at eighty four. As for Ms. Cardinale..she's one of those women whose loveliness I can acknowledge without having much interest in.

Interesting. I checked on Wikipedia and neither of them has A Fine Pair (1968) listed in their filmography. I don't blame them.

Hm. All your women in this series are all hourglass-curves. Fashions in what is True Beauty march on...
I only remember her from "once upon a time in the west," but wow.
For me her most stunning moments were in Fellini's "8 1/2". Her name there pronounced CLOUD-EE-A.

Wasn't she in The Professionals? A lovely and voluptuous woman from the latter heyday of Italian bombshells.
Only stunted baby boomers could find anything more than mere prettiness in her.
