Little Known Spaghetti Western Actors ~ Marilù Carteny

[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.]

Maria Luigia Carteny was an Italian production designer, costume designer and film actress. She is often confused in film credits with Simonetta Santaniello who played Maureen McBain in Sergio Leone’s 1968 “Once Upon a Time in the West”. Marilu had worked as a costume designer on Italian films since 1950. She became a production designer in 1970.

Carteny also designed costumes for two other Spaghetti westerns Quién sabe? (A Bullet for the General) and Dio perdona ... io no! 1967 (God Forgives… I Don’t!) both in 1967.

She actually appears on screen in a small role as one of the mourners at the McBain ranch in the funeral scene.
