Giuliana Calandra was an Italian film, television and stage actress, journalist and television hostess. Born in Moncalieri, Turin, Piedmont, Italy on February 10, 1936, she began her career in the theater at a very young age, joining the company of Anna Proclemer and Giorgio Albertazzi, and by the end of the 1950s made her debut as a prose actress on TV. She made her film debut in 1963 Pier Paolo Pasolini's “La ricotta” and went on to appear in hundreds of films, TV series and stage works. Calandra's most famous film role is that of the writer murdered in her bathroom at home in Dario Argento's masterpiece “Profondo rosso” (Deep Red) (1975), where, alongside David Hemmings, Clara Calamai, Eros Pagni, Gabriele Lavia and Daria Nicolodi, she is the protagonist of one of the most successful murderous sequences in the history of cinema for suspense and anguish. She served as an entertainment and fashion journalist and television host in the 1980s.
Her only Spaghetti western appearance was as a camp follower in Sergio Leone’s “Giù la testa” (Duck You Sucker) in 1971.
Giuliano died in Aprilia, Lazio, Italy of leukemia on November 26, 2018. She was 82.
