Marilù Tolo
Marilù Tolo is an Italian film actress. She appeared in more than 60 films between 1960 and 1985.
Life and career
Tolo was born in Rome, and at a very young age worked as an assistant of Mario Riva in the RAI variety show Il Musichiere. She made her film debut at 16 years old in Alberto Lattuada's Sweet Deceptions.
Tolo was among the shortlisted actresses who performed screen tests for the supporting antagonistic role of Ursa in Superman, a role which she narrowly lost out on to Sarah Douglas. The screen tests were released as a special feature on the 2001 DVD home video re-release of the film.
She was also a fashion model, and a close friend of Italian stylist Valentino. Valentino said in an interview to Italian newspaper La Repubblica that Tolo was the only woman he had ever really loved and that he had proposed to her in the early 1960s, but was turned down.
