| 1 | Had appeared with Vittorio Gassman in nine films: Bitter Rice (1949), Lure of the Sila (1949), Anna (1951), Mambo (1954), Tempest (1958), La grande guerra (1959), ...And Suddenly It's Murder! (1960), Barabbas (1961) and Cinema Paradiso (1988). |
| 2 | Had appeared with Alberto Sordi in four films: La grande guerra (1959), ...And Suddenly It's Murder! (1960), The Flying Saucer (1964) and Cinema Paradiso (1988). |
| 3 | She was initially chosen as the leading lady for Under the Olive Tree (1950) (she had signed a contract with Lux Film for the sum of one million lire), but was forced to abandon the project because she was pregnant at the time. |
| 4 | She was trained as a dancer under Zhia Ruskaya and then worked as a model. She won the Miss Rome beauty pageant in 1946 and from then on toiled in small movie roles until her breakthrough came in Bitter Rice (1949). |

| 8 | Her most famous role, the earthy Bitter Rice (1949), had her out toiling ever so sexily in the rice fields. Lucille Ball did a hilarious spoof on this movie on her sitcom I Love Lucy (1951). Lucy is spotted by a famous Italian movie director and chosen to play a role in his new movie, "Bitter Grapes", that ends up with her toiling in her now famous grape-stomping vat scene. |
