Claudia Cardinale

Claudia Cardinale, an Italian Tunisian actress, began her career after winning the “Most Beautiful Italian Girl in Tunisia” contest, which led to a trip to Italy. Despite struggling with the Italian language, which differed significantly from the Sicilian dialect she knew from her parents, her beauty attracted modeling and acting offers. 

In the early stages of her career, her husky tone and French accent necessitated voice dubbing. She passionately championed women’s rights and became a UNESCO goodwill ambassador for the protection and empowerment of women in the year 2000.
