Dalila Di Lazzaro (born 29 January 1953) is an Italian model, actress and writer.

Life and career

Born in Udine, Di Lazzaro started as a fashion model and was the subject of famous photographers such as Andy Warhol. She then gained attention in the tabloid press as a supposed relative of Sophia Loren and even a potential rival in love.^[1]

Between the mid-1970s and the early 1980s Di Lazzaro worked in notable films with directors such as Alberto Lattuada, Luigi Comencini, Florestano Vancini, Alberto Sordi, Dario Argento, Klaus Kinski and Jacques Deray, then focused primarily on television.^[1] In 1983 she refused the role of Domino, later played by Kim Basinger, in Never Say Never Again.^[2]

In 1997 she was involved in a motorcycle crash on a Rome street which caused a fracture of a vertebra in her neck. The result was chronic pain which severely limited her career.^[3]

Her last role in a movie was in 2015 in 80 Voglia di te, directed by Andrea Vialardi.

She considers herself Catholic.^[4]
