José Greci (born 10 January 1941) is an Italian former film, television and stage actress.
Life and career
Born in Ferrara as Giuseppina Greci, the daughter of the journalist and television writer Luigi, in 1956 at just fifteen years old Greci enrolled the Silvio D'Amico National Academy of Dramatic Art; after two years she left the Academy to debut on stage.[1]
Greci made her film debut in 1959, playing the Virgin Mary in William Wyler's Ben-Hur.[1][2] From then she started appearing in dozens of genre films, soon becoming one of the most prolific actresses in the 1960s Italian cinema, particularly becoming a star in the sword-and-sandal and eurospy genres.[1] Also active on television, she gradually abandoned her career during the seventies.[1]
