Born in Nigoline, Province of Brescia, Betti in 1957 moved to Rome, where she became a real-life friend of Federico Fellini.[1][2] Fellini referred to her as "her boss" and as "the little goddess of ideas", and Betti was a collaborator, a casting director, a script supervisor and a second unit director for many of his films until 1980.[1] As a screenwriter, she also often collaborated with Marco Ferreri and Enrico Oldoini.[2] In 1991 she was nominated at the David di Donatello Award for best screenplay for Ferreri's The House of Smiles.
