Born and raised in Tunisia to Italian parents, Claudia Cardinale entranced audiences across the globe with the sultry gaze that made her the muse of directors including Luchino Visconti and Federico Fellini. She died on Tuesday at her home in Nemours, outside Paris.
With her fierce beauty and husky voice, Cardinale not only captivated Italy's greatest filmmakers, she played opposite most of the leading men of the time, from Burt Lancaster to Alain Delon and Henry Fonda.
