AI notes: Valentina Cortese (1923–2019) was an Italian actress celebrated for her elegance, versatility, and emotional depth, whose career spanned more than seven decades in film and theater. Born in Milan, she began acting in the early 1940s, quickly establishing herself in Italian cinema with performances in films like “Le Amiche” (1955) by Michelangelo Antonioni, where her nuanced portrayal of complex emotions drew critical acclaim. She worked internationally as well, appearing in Hollywood productions and European films, and gained widespread recognition for her role in François Truffaut’s “Day for Night” (1973), which earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Known for her refined yet passionate acting style, Cortese excelled in both dramatic and sophisticated roles, balancing screen and stage work throughout her life. Her legacy endures as a defining presence in mid-20th-century European cinema, admired for her ability to convey intense psychological depth with grace and subtlety.
