About Alida Valli in brief
Baroness Alida Maria Laura Altenburger von Marckenstein-Frauenberg was an Italian actress. She appeared in more than 100 films, including Mario Soldati’s Piccolo mondo antico, Alfred Hitchcock’s The Paradine Case, Carol Reed’s The Third Man, Michelangelo Antonioni’s Il Grido, Luchino Visconti’s Senso, Bernardo Bertolucci’s 1900, Georges Franju’s Les Yeux sans Visage, and Dario Argento’s Suspiria. Valli started her movie career in 1934, in Il cappello a tre punte during the so-called Telefoni Bianchi cinema era. During the Second World War, she starred in many movies, including Stasera niente di nuovo and the diptych Noi Vivi Addio Kira! The latter two movies were nearly censored by the Italian government under Benito Mussolini, but they were finally permitted because the novel upon which they were based was anti-Soviet.
In 1956, Valli decided to stop making movies, concentrating on the stage. She was in charge of a company that produced plays on Broadway in the 1950s and 1960s. During her lifetime she also gained the titles Dr. h. c. of the III. University of Rome, Chevalier of Arts of France and Cavaliere of the Italian Republic.
