The Museum resumes a popular tradition this fall with an Italian film retrospective organized by our esteemed colleagues at the legendary Cinecittà in Rome. This year it’s a celebration of actress Claudia Cardinale (born in Tunisia in 1938), whose beauty and talent have made a strong impression in countless films. Selections include highlights from her early career, as well as her iconic roles in 8 1/2, The Leopard, and Once Upon a Time in the West. Don’t miss the chance to hear guest presenter Carolyn Pfeiffer reflect on working as Cardinale’s assistant when Pfeiffer introduces The Leopard on October 22. A new commemorative publication, Claudia Cardinale: The Indomitable, is available in the Hirsch Library.
