EDWIGE FENECH: QUEEN OF GIALLO (PART 2)

If you visited WOM last week, you saw the first part of the German magazine, SIMPLE FILM PORTRAT featuring giallo actress, Edwige Fenech. As promised, here's the second part of that magazine's special tribute to the stunning Edwige.

EDWIGE FENECH: QUEEN OF GIALLO (PART 1)

Among all the beautiful women that acted during the height of the giallo film era, Edwige Fenech is generally regarded as the "Queen of Giallo". Her remarkable good looks and acting ability were the keys to her popularity. The fact that she landed some roles in choice movies didn't hurt either.

The French Italian actress was born in French Algeria on December 24, 1948 to a Maltese father and a Sicilian mother, the combination of which accounts for her beauty.

Her first Italian film role was in Guido Malatesta's SAMOA, QUEEN OF THE JUNGLE (1967). Her giallo films include FIVE DOLLS FOR AN AUGUST MOON (1970), YOUR VICE IS A LOCKED ROOM AND ONLY I HAVE THE KEY (1972) and ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK (1972). While she is very popular with genre fans, she is more known internationally for her many Italian sex comedies.

Shown below is the hard-to-find German film magazine, SIMPLE MOVIE PORTRAT (#7, 2010), a special edition featuring Miss Fenech and is probably the most complete overview of her film career in print.

See Part II right here next week.

THE QUEEN OF GIALLO

The Mediterranean-born Edwige Fenech is still with us at the age of 73. Although she is famed for her  roles in a myriad of Italian sex comedies, the beautiful Maltese/Sicilian actress is best known by genre fans as the "Queen of Giallo", and for her movies such as, ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK, FIVE DOLLS FOR AN AUGUST MOON, YOUR VICE IS A LOCKED ROOM AND I HAVE THE KEY, and STRIP NUDE FOR YOUR KILLER (dig those crazy titles!). In the 80's, she starred on a talk show with another giallo favorite, Barbara Bouchet. Her most recent appearance in a film was in Eli Roth's HOSTEL: PART II.

Here is a delightful dozen images of Miss Fenech.
