Marcello Vincenzo Domenico Mastroianni (September
28, 1924 – December 19, 1996) was an Italian film actor.
Born in Fontana Liri, a small village in the Apennines, Mastroianni grew up
in Turin and Rome. During World War II he was interned in a Nazi prison, but
he escaped and hid in Venice.
In 1945 he started working for a film company, and began taking acting
lessons. His film debut was in I Miserabili (from Victor Hugo's Les
Misérables) in 1947.

He soon became a major international romantic star, starring in Big Deal on
Madonna Street; and especially when Federico Fellini cast him in La Dolce
Vita with Anita Ekberg in 1960.
He followed that with another signature role, that of a frustrated,
womanizing film director in Fellini's 8˝.
Mastroianni was married to the Italian actress Flora Carabella (1926-1999),
who appeared in many films including "Lunatics and Lovers" and "A Night Full
of Rain", from 1948 until his death; they had one child, Barbara.
He also had a daughter, Chiara Mastroianni, with his longtime mistress, the
actress Catherine Deneuve; both Flora and Catherine were at his bedside when
he died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 72. |
