Life and career

Born in Rome as Lia Molfesi, Amanda was the daughter of the character actor Mario Molfesi.[1]

She debuted at very young age with her real name in Mario Monicelli and Steno's Totò cerca casa, in which she played the daughter of Totò.[1] She adopted her stage name since her second film, Cento piccole mamme, in which she also had her first leading role.[1]

After several significant roles in critically appreciated films including Augusto Genina's Tre storie proibite, at the peak of her career, at the 1955 Punta del Este Film Festival Amanda announced her retirement from acting to move in Brasil with her husband, the Argentine businessman Arnaldo Carraro.[1] In 1975 she made a fleeting return to acting with a supporting role in the giallo Nude per l'assassino.[2]

Selected filmography
gollark: Anyway, if you can figure out *how to* exploit that, enjoy.
gollark: I think PotatOS does some of that itself anyway.
gollark: Did I just now say now twice in one clause?
gollark: PotatOS now has the `chaos` RNG now, but that's not actually used, and is... probably worse.
gollark: People are very creative when it comes to PotatOS exploits, I must say. Galaxtone actually exploited the random number generator by seeding it with a fixed, er, seed.
