Adriana Facchetti was born in Desenzano del Garda, Lombardy, Italy on January 6, 1921. She had the perfect facial features to play strong women and authoritarian figures. When she grew older, she was used as old maids, teachers, ugly sisters and smaller character parts. She first appeared in theater roles in the late 1930s and then made over 50 film and TV appearances. Among her many films were three Euro-westerns: “Payment in Blood” (1967) with Guy Madison, “Beyond the Law” (1968) with Lee Van Cleef and “The Return of Halleluja” (1972) with George Hilton. She then was seen on the Italian TV series “O Samba” in 1988. Adriana passed away on October 6, 1993, in Rome, Italy.
