Life
editBorn in Cagliari, she debuted in 1959 with her real name, but changed it shortly after, following a fashion of the time for American-sounding stage names.[1] In 1960s she was very active in light comedies and adventure (pepla) films, often in main roles, then did a few spaghetti westerns, but dissatisfied with her career, she chose to retire from show business in the late 1960s.[1]
Milland died on August 27, 1989, in Ladispoli, Italy.[2]
