Marisa Pavan
Biography
Born in Cagliari, Sardinia, Marisa Pavan was the Italian and French actress who first gained attention as the twin sister of the film star Pier Angeli before building a screen career of her own. She had no dramatic training when Paramount signed her to a Hollywood contract at 19, and she made her debut in What Price Glory (1952). Her breakthrough came in The Rose Tattoo (1955), as Anna Magnani's daughter, a part that brought her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe win. She went on to appear in The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit (1956), The Midnight Story (1957) and Solomon and Sheba (1959), playing Abishag, and later in A Slightly Pregnant Man (1973), Antoine and Sebastian (1974), the miniseries The Moneychangers (1976) and Ryan's Hope, as Chantal Dubujak, in 1985.
