Eleanora Brown was born in Naples, Italy on August 22, 1948. Brown's parents met when her American father was introduced to her Neapolitan mother while he was working with the International Red Cross in post-World War II Italy. In 1959, when she was only 11 years old, she was chosen by Vittorio De Sica to play the part of Rosetta (Cesira's daughter, played by Sophia Loren) in the film “La ciociara” (Two Women), based on the novel by Alberto Moravia. Brown stands out for her intense acting in dramatic scenes such as that of the rape by soldiers.
Brown later attended John Cabot University in Rome, graduating with a degree in Business and Economics. She then worked as a translator at the Italian Parliament, while also doing voice acting for twenty years, in both English and Italian.
Eleanora made her first screen appearance in 50 years in the 2018 Italian film “Un Amore Così Grande” (A Love So Big). The film focuses on the world of opera in Verona, Italy, and features performances by the operatic pop trio Il Volo.
Brown was married once and was widowed in 1993.
Billed as Elanor Brown she appeared in two Spaghetti westerns: “Sentenza di morte” (Death Sentence) as Sally in 1967 and “15 forche per un assassin” (15 Scaffolds for a Killer) as Liz Cook in 1968.
