Little Known Western Actors ~ Leonora Carney

[These daily posts will cover little known actors or people that have appeared in more recent films and TV series. Various degrees of information that I was able to find will be given and anything that you can add would be appreciated.]

Leonora Carney was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1953. She began a career as a concert pianist at the age of 10 with television appearances and numerous broadcasts on national radio, following a much-acclaimed recital in Wigmore Hall, London. She has pursued that career as a concert pianist, giving recitals throughout Ireland, Great Britain, continental Europe and the U.S.A. Her schedule includes concerts with the National Symphony Orchestra and broadcasts on both RTE and BBC Radio 3. She’s still appearing as of 2020.

As a teenager she was recruited and appeared in a bus scene which was later cut in most versions of 1971’s “Giu la testa” (Duck You Sucker).
