Life and career

One year later she got an equally important role, the newlywed dreamer Wanda in Federico Fellini's The White Sheik.[3] Despite the popularity gained with her early roles, her career continued mainly in B-movies, in which she was sometimes credited as Barbara Hudson. She was also active in television dramas. Her sister, Mariolina, was also an actress.[3]
