In 1947 she was one of the girls in the Miss Italia contest. Lucia Bose' became "The Queen", and nearby, on the stage of Stresa, were some other future stars of Italian cinema: Gina Lollobrigida Silvana Mangano, Eleonora Rossi Drago and Gianna Maria Canale
Trivia
Mother of Raffaella De Laurentiis
In 1981 her son, Federico, was killed in an Alaskan air crash.
Not having the same kind of drive as her two other Italian sexpot competitors, Sophia Loren and Gina Lollobrigida, Mangano's career was completely controlled by husband Dino De Laurentiis.
Daughter of a Sicilian train conductor and an English woman.
Her most famous role, the earthy Bitter Rice, had her out toiling ever so sexily in the rice fields. Lucille Ball did a hilarious spoof on this movie on her I Love Lucy show. Lucy is spotted by a famous Italian movie director and chosen to play a part in his new movie, "Bitter Grapes," that ends up with her toiling in her now famous grape-stomping vat scene.
She separated from Dino De Laurentiis in 1983 and abandoned her career to live in Paris and Madrid, where she made tapestries. They had not divorced by the time she died of lung cancer in 1989.
