We don’t talk about “character actors” as much as we used to, but they’re still out there and there are good ones in the US and in Italy.
Take Piera Degli Esposti: She probably doesn’t make a ton of money as an actress, she probably feels unnoticed by fans and the press, and she’s definitely under-appreciated. Born March 13, 1939 in Bologna, she’s appeared in quite a few Italian movies that Italian movie lovers in the US can get their hands on.
Tanti auguri Piera!
