Carolyn De Fonseca

Carolyn De Fonseca was an American actress who became a prolific voice artist for English-language dubs of European films. Born in 1929, she moved to Rome in the early 1960s and took small roles in A Difficult Life (1961), Barabbas (1961), The Pink Panther (1963), and Damon and Pythias (1962). Limited on-screen success led her to focus on dubbing, starting with peplum titles like Mole Men Against the Son of Hercules (1961) and later voicing Jayne Mansfield in Primitive Love (1964), Dog Eat Dog (1964), and The Wild, Wild World of Jayne Mansfield (1968). She specialized in villainesses and femme fatales, then returned to acting in American films shot in Italy, including Monsignor (1982), The Lonely Lady (1983), and Bernardo Bertolucci's The Sheltering Sky (1990). On television she appeared in The Winds of War (1983) and Mussolini and I (1985). She died in 2009.
