Sandra Milo, who was born in Tunis on March 11, 1933, as Salvatrice Elena Greco, is a multifaceted actress, playwright, musician, and television personality who has left her mark on Italian cinema history. Milo, who gained fame for her parts in Federico Fellini’s classics “8½” and “Juliet of the Spirits,” has a fascinating career spanning television, movies, and other media.
Career
In 1955 Sandra Milo gained notoriety when she starred with Alberto Sordi in the film “The Bachelor.” But it wasn’t until 1959—with the help of producer Moris Ergas—that she was able to land her first significant role in “General della Rovere,” directed by Roberto Rossellini. This launched a career that would see her experiment with a range of genres, including melodramas and comedies.
She and Rossellini continued to work together on “Vanina Vanini,” but the film’s reception at the Venice Festival was unfavorable and had an effect on Rossellini’s career. Milo’s skill was evident despite these obstacles, and her early roles paved the way for her success in the future.
Sandra Milo made a comeback to the film industry following a marriage-related sabbatical, and this attracted the interest of renowned director Federico Fellini. Her position as Marcello Mastroianni’s seductive mistress in “8½” was persuaded by Fellini. Despite receiving widespread praise, the movie was unable to change how the public saw Milo.
Relentless, she reteamed with Fellini for “Juliet of the Spirits.” Although these partnerships demonstrated Milo’s adaptability, she thereafter found herself frequently chosen for low-budget movies. Her collaboration with Fellini is still a high point in her career, nevertheless.
In the mid-1960s, Milo embraced television, hosting a program in Rome. Her ability to connect with audiences extended beyond the silver screen, demonstrating her versatility as a media personality.
Following a brief retirement in 1968, Milo made a triumphant return to acting in 1979. This second comeback saw a shift in her role from the temptress to a more nuanced, middle-aged character.
In 2006-07, Sandra Milo embarked on a theatrical tour across Italy with the adaptation of “8 Women,” showcasing her prowess on the stage. Off-screen, Milo’s personal life includes marriages to Moris Ergas, with whom she had a daughter named Deborah, and later to Ottavio De Lollis, resulting in two children, Ciro and Azzurra.
Who is Sandra Milo Engaged to?
Sandra Milo is possibly single. She was previously married to Cesare Rodigheiro, Moris Ergas, Ottavio De Lollis, Bettino Craxi, and Federico Fellini.
