'''Gina Lollobrigida''' (July 4, 1927 – January 16, 2023) was an Italian actress, born in Subiaco, and active in films from the late 1940s through the early 1970s. After retiring from filmmaking, she took up a second career as an artist and a humanitarian activist. She ran (unsuccessfully) for the European Parliament in 1999. She's been overshadowed by [[Sophia Loren]] in public notice, but still has a considerable following.

* [[Beauty Contest]]: Gina first came to significant public notice in 1947, when she entered the Miss Italy beauty pageant and won 3rd place. The first- and second-place winners were, respectively, Lucia Bose and Gianna Maria Canale, who also became actresses; in fact, the Miss Italy pageants in the late 1940s and early 1950s turned out to be a fertile field for the discovery of stars and starlets for the burgeoning Italian film industry.
* [[Brainy Brunette]]: As detailed in the [[Renaissance Man|Renaissance Woman]] entry, Gina was multilingual and highly accomplished in many fields of the fine arts.
* [[The Fifties]]: The period of Gina's greatest success as an actress, though her best-known American films (''Come September'' and ''Strange Bedfellows'') were made in the early 1960s.
* [[Golden Age of Hollywood]]: A subversion, as Gina actually earned her fame in Italian cinema (her breakthrough role was in ''[[Bread, Love and Dreams]]'' in 1953) before beginning to get roles in American films in the late
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: A number of her movies, most notably ''[[La Donna Piu' Bella del Mondo]]'' (''The Most Beautiful Woman in the World'', a biopic of [[The Edwardian Era|Edwardian Era]] opera diva [[Lina Cavalieri]]), have never been officially released in the United States on VHS or DVD.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Most of her movies during her time as an international star, especially ''La Donna 'Piu Bella Del Mondo'' (she has a lengthy [[Stocking Filler]] scene as a music-hall singer early on), ''[[Anna di Brooklyn]]'' (''Fast and Sexy'') (the most famous image from the movie shows her in a very skimpy one-piece black lace outfit), and ''Trapeze'' (arguably one of the main purposes of the movie is to show La Lollo in a revealing circus-performer costume).
* [[Of Corsets Sexy]]: Her
* [[Renaissance Man|Renaissance Woman]]: Gina
* [[Soap Opera]]: Toward the end of her active career as an actress, Gina worked for a while on the U.S. nighttime soap ''[[Falcon Crest]]''.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Gina turned her brown curls blue for her role as the Blue Fairy in Luigi Comenici's 1972 version of ''Pinocchio''.
