Italian cinema has lost one of its iconic figures with the passing of actress Sandra Milo at the age of 90. Known for her distinctive high-pitched voice, Milo made a significant impact on both the comedy and drama genres throughout her career. Her breakthrough came in Roberto Rossellini's 1959 film 'Il generale Della Rovere,' and from then on, she worked with some of the greatest names in post-war Italian cinema.
Milo had the opportunity to share the screen with renowned actors such as Alberto Sordi and Marcello Mastroianni, with whom she starred in Federico Fellini's masterpiece '8½.' In the film, she portrayed Carla, the mistress of Mastroianni's character, film director Guido. This role not only showcased Milo's acting prowess but also marked the beginning of a special collaboration with Fellini, who would later cast her in his 1965 film 'Juliet of the Spirits.'
