   Claudia Cardinale, 87 (2/2)

   [continued from previous message]   
      
       Indeed , Cardinale was rumored to be romantically linked with   
       a number of leading men throughout her early career, including   
       Delon, Mastroianni, Jean-Paul Belmondo and Steve McQueen. Yet   
       she rarely spoke about her love life in public, only claiming   
       in a late interview that she was "stupid" for having rejected   
       the advances of Marlon Brando. "I never wanted to mix my private   
       and public lives," she said. "No flirting. No flings."   
      
       After divorcing Cristaldi in 1975, Cardinale began living with   
       Neapolitan director Pasquale Squitieri, with whom she remained   
       until his death in 2017. The two had a daughter, also named   
       Claudia, and collaborated on features including I guappi (1974),   
       Corleone (1977), Claretta (1984) and Atto di dolore (1990).   
      
       Cardinale worked steadily from the 1970s onward, nabbing another   
       di Donatello prize for Luigi Zampa's comedy A Girl in Australia   
       (1971) and Italian Golden Globes for her leading roles in   
       Claretta and Atto di dolore.   
      
       Highlights of the second half of her career included Marco   
       Ferreri's satirical Vatican-set drama, L'udienza (1972);   
       Visconti's English-language drama Conversation Piece (1974),   
       in which she reteamed with the director and Lancaster; Werner   
       Herzog's Fitzcarraldo (1982), in which she played a mistress   
       brought into the jungle by her lover (Klaus Kinski in the title   
       role); and Marco Bellocchio's Henry IV (1984) as she teamed   
       again with Mastroianni.   
      
       Alongside her prolific work onscreen, Cardinale starred in   
       stage productions of plays by Luigi Pirandello (How You Love   
       Me), Tennessee Williams (Sweet Bird of Youth, The Glass Menagerie)   
       and Neil Simon (The Odd Couple), with Squitieri often directing.   
      
       She also had a brief career as a disco singer in the 1970s,   
       releasing such tracks as "Love Affair" and "Sun ... I Love   
       You," which were minor hits in Europe and Japan.   
      
       Cardinale appeared on the inside foldout of early releases of   
       Bob Dylan's legendary 1966 Blonde on Blonde album (he was an   
       admirer) and caused a stir when she wore a miniskirt to a   
       meeting with the pope in 1967.   
      
       In 2008, Cardinale was awarded a Legion of Honor in her adopted   
       home of France, where she resided in the final decades of her   
       life. In 2017, her dancing image -- from a photo taken on a   
       Rome rooftop in 1959 -- graced the official poster of the 70th   
       Cannes Film Festival.   
      
       Reflecting on her impressive career on the occasion of the   
       poster's release, Cardinale offered advice for the young   
       actresses who followed in her wake: "Never take on a role that   
       will hurt you or make you sell out," she warned. "And refuse   
       to accept the awful caprices of certain directors or any form   
       of professional blackmail. Yes, you need to fight!"
