      [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!"              --       Mark Shaw moc TOD liamg TA wahsnm       ========================================================================        "Anyway, we delivered the bomb."              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
