Maria Capprrelli is/was an Italian character actress who appeared in 10 films between 1959 and 1973. She also appeared as a telephone operator in the 1972 Italian TV series episode ‘Il pazzo di Bergerac’ of ‘Le inchieste del commissario Maigret’. Capparelli sometimes was credited as Mary Capparelli and Rhea Capparelli. She often with Franco & Ciccio, but also in other Italian comedies and westerns and even she has a line of dialogue in her roles.
Maria appeared in three Spaghetti westerns: La sceriffa” (The Sheriff) in 1959 as a saloon dance), “Lola Colt” (Black Tigress) 1967 as a saloon patron and “Ed ora... raccomanda l'anima a Dio!” (Stranger Say Your Prayers) in 1968 as Mrs. Sullivan.
Other than that, I can find no biographical information on her.
