Description
This is a black and white photo of the Yugoslav-born Italian actor Sylva Koscina, in a three quarter pose, smiling up at the camera. She is wearing a full skirted three-quarter length off-the-shoulder dress (that has being marked as 'famous dress' on the back of similar photos of her in the archive).
Koscina (1933-1994) had an extensive filmography including parts in mostly Italian genre movies including The Railroad Man (Pietro Germi, 1956) which was shown at the Cork Film Festival in 1956. Koscina acted for Hollywood-produced movies on a few occasions including alongside Paul Newman in The Secret War of Harry Frigg (Jack Smight, 1968) and with Rock Hudson in Hornets' Nest (Franco Cirino, 1970). Her final film appearance was in Kim Novak is on the Phone (Riki Roseo, 1994) before she died later that year from breast cancer.
