Academy Award-nominated actress Valentina Cortese, one of the leading ladies of Italian cinema, died Wednesday in Milan at the age of 96.
In 1975, she received an Academy Award best supporting actress nomination for her role as Severine in Francois Truffaut’s. Cortese was also nominated for a Golden Globe, and ultimately won a BAFTA Award for the role.
The Grande Dame was also a fashion icon throughout her life. As a young girl, raised in a farming family, she wore scarfs around her head to protect herself from the sun. She resurrected this fashion trend in the latter part of her life, almost always photographed with an elaborate headscarf.a documentary film by Francesco Patierno that honors her life and career. Eight contemporary Italian “divas” were cast to tell her story.
Cortese had one son, actor Jackie Basehart, during her nine-year marriage to American actor Richard Basehart. Jackie Basehart's death preceded hers, passing away in Milan in 2015.
