Life and career

Born in Rome as Francesca Marsi, after working in the revue, Marzi made her film debut in her early twenties, in The Lovers (1946) by Giacomo Gentilomo.[1] She was usually cast in roles of provocative women and femme fatales in films of sentimental or comic genre.[1] The only exception was the Federico Fellini's drama Nights of Cabiria (1957), in which she played the role of the prostitute Wanda, the best friend of Giulietta Masina, a role for which she was rewarded with the Silver Ribbon for Best Supporting Actress.[2]
