Isabella Biagini

Isabella Biagini (19 December 1943 – 14 April 2018) was an Italian actress and showgirl.

Life and career

Born in Rome as Concetta Biagini, she debuted in childhood as a radio actress and advertising model. At 14 she entered the Miss Italia competition, and made her film debut in a minor role in Michelangelo Antonioni's Le Amiche (1955). Later from the 1960s, Biagini worked assiduously on the radio and television and posed on many fotonovelas. On the small screen, she achieved some success not only as showgirl but also as talented impersonator; on the big screen, despite of the numerous appearances, her roles were usually stereotyped. 

In later years, Biagini has been a protagonist of news columns in relation to the critical conditions of poverty in which she lived.
