Silvana Pampanini

Silvana Pampanini was an Italian actress and television personality who enjoyed great popularity in the 1950s. In 1946 she competed in the Miss Italy pageant, where the public voted her the winner, but the jury deemed her too sensual for the era and awarded her only second place. That early controversy did not slow her rise; she went on to a successful career in film. Born in Rome, Italy, she was of Caucasian ethnicity and identified as straight. Standing 5'9" (174 cm) with a slim build, she had brown hair and blue eyes, and her natural 36D bra cup size was part of her striking appearance. Her career included topless-only nudity in some roles, reflecting the norms of mid-century cinema. She passed away on January 6, 2016, at the age of 90.
