Life and career

Born in Rome, the sister of the actor and director Aldo, in the late 1950s Fabrizi started occasionally appearing in films, considering the acting career just a hobby, being her true profession the restaurateur and gastronome.[2] Mainly used for very little character roles, her acting career had her peak in early 1980s, thanks to a series of films directed by Carlo Verdone in which she played the typical role of the good-natured, grumbling grandmother.[2][3] For her role in Bianco, rosso e Verdone Fabrizi won a Silver Ribbon for Best New Actress, while in 1984 she won a David di Donatello for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Acqua e sapone.[4]

Fabrizi was also a busy television personality, and for a long time she was a regular guest on the television program Maurizio Costanzo Show.[2][3] She suffered from diabetes, and died of a stroke at Fatebenefratelli Hospital in Rome.[5] She was a supporter of S.S. Lazio.[6]
