Claudia Rivelli

Claudia Rivelli is best known as the older sister of actress Ornella Muti, but her own story is rich with family and art. Born in Rome, Italy, on June 16, 1950, she grew up with a Neapolitan father and a German mother from Estonia, sculptor Ilse Renate Krause. Her heritage is a blend of cultures, and she is Italian by nationality.

Rivelli appeared in only one film, Twice Judas (1969), despite being close to cinema through her first husband, a Spanish producer she married in 1974 and later divorced. Her second marriage was to Paolo Leone, son of former Italian President Giovanni Leone, and they had two children together. Beyond acting, she nurtures a hobby of naïve genre painting. Now 76, she has a petite stature at 5'3" and a slim build, with brown hair and green eyes. She is a private figure, with a small Instagram following of 1k.
