Lia Di Leo

Lia Anna Di Leo was an Italian actress and model. She entered the 1951 Miss Italy contest and then began acting in films, generally playing glamorous supporting roles.
Di Leo's parents died while she was very young, and as a result she raised her two younger twin brothers, Francesco and Antonio, with her older brother Mario. After marrying in 1957 she retired from the screen and moved to the United States, where she worked as a sculptor. She died in Palm Springs, California on 15 December 2006, at the age of 83.
