The Orbit of Laura
Remembering the Italian actress Laura Antonelli (Laura Antonaz, November 28, 1941 – June 22, 2015). Once a desired icon of male gaze, her final withdrawal from filming and public had elicited her view: “Earthly life no longer interests me.”
Here are some of her feature films which I have seen:

Thank you for introducing me to Laura Antonelli! I had never heard of her before. I just read a little of her back story – very interesting!!!
Thank you, Rebecca. Laura had a special talent in making most of her characters believable. She also had the opportunity to work with some of the directors with proven talent.
She was a very good and beautiful actress! Thanks for talking about her ❣️
Thank you, Luisa. I had the opportunity to collect many of her movies from different parts of Italy. They are very hard to find these days.
I haven’t heard of this lovely lady , fascinating.
Thank you for taking time to comment.
My pleasure. Enjoyed!
A fine tribute to her. I had not heard of her. Interesting that she was in “A Man Called Sledge” with James Gardner which I have not seen.
Thank you, Jo Nell, for your comments. I am glad to see you here.
