Born 1931 in Milan, Italian actress Lucia Bosè earned a role in Dino Risi’s short film, 1848 (1948), before making her feature film debut in the 1950 film, Non c'è pace tra gli ulivi (No Peace Under the Olive Tree) directed by Giuseppe De Santis. That same year, she starred in Antonioni’s Cronaca di un amore (Story of a Love Affair) and in 1953, she reunited with him for La signora senza camelie (The Lady Without Camelias).
Her career flourished until 1955, when Bosè fell in love with Spanish bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguín during the filming of Muerte de un ciclista, and gave up acting to marry and raise a family.
After divorcing Dominguín, Bosè returned full-time to the screen, appearing in such films as Fellini Satyricon (1969), Under the Sign of Scorpio (1969), Something Creeping in The Dark (1971), L’ospite (1972), Arcana (1972), Nathalie Granger (1972), La messe dorée (1975), Lumière (1976), and Violanta (1976). She continued to be active in both Italian cinema and Spanish films, appearing in Cronaca di una morte annunciata (Chronicle of a Death Foretold, 1987), El niño de la luna (Moon Child, 1989), Harem Suare (1999), and I Viceré (2007).
Bosè died at the General Hospital of Segovia in 2020, at the age of 89. Take a look at these beautiful photos to see portraits of a young Lucia Bosè in the 1950s.
