N.p.: N.p., 1960. Three vintage borderless publicity photographs of Italian actress Rosanna Schiaffino, circa 1960s, including two double-weight and one single-weight. One particularly notable photograph shows Schiaffino stepping off of an airplane, receiving a bouquet of roses from a woman wearing a "Hollywood" sash, presumably taken circa 1962, when Schiaffino would begin appearing in American pictures. An actress and model, Schiaffino began her career in the post-neorealist Italian cinema of the 1950s. Billed in America as the "Italian Hedy Lamarr," Schiaffino appeared in several moderately successful Hollywood films, but ultimately found American cinema less fruitful than her Italian origins. She would eventually marry into money and retire from acting in the 1970s. One photograph 7.75 x 10.25 inches, one photograph 7.25 x 5 inches, and one photograph 4 x 6 inches. Near Fine.
