Ornella Muti

[tigerrouge]

An amazingly beautiful Italian actress, best remembered for her film roles in the 70's and 80's, although she still occasionally appears in productions today (wikipedia, fanpix.net

Ornella Muti (born March 9, 1955) is an Italian actress. She was born in Rome as Francesca Romana Rivelli, to a Neapolitan father and Estonian mother. She has an older sister, Claudia (1951). Muti modeled as a teenager and made her film debut in 1970 in La Moglie più bella (aka The Most Beautiful Wife).

She has primarily worked in Italian films but she made her UK film debut in 1980 in Flash Gordon. American movies she appeared in include Oscar (1991) and Once Upon A Crime (1992).

One of the most beautiful women ever.
She reminds me of Mila Kunis in post 4.

Apparently "Playmen" was an Italian entertainment magazine, which ran from 1967-2001, as a competitor to Playboy magazine. I reckon this is the October 1975 issue (geocities.com/ornellamuti2

This is Ornella in a short film from 1977, as an air hostess who meets a stranger, but is the attraction all it seems? (youtube.com)

Such a great idea with this thread. I have seen her lately on Italian TV and she looks as amazing as when she was young.

Oh Lord she is exquisite
I think I fell in love with her when I saw the campfest that is Flash Gordon.
So over the top but stunningly evil in that too.
Thanks for starting the thread tigerrouge
