GOODBYE, CLAUDIA CARDINALE

You were a leading lady who held a pinup relegation, having teamed with the vivacious Brigitte Bardot in the bawdy western, The Legend of Frenchie King.    

You were also magnetizing in Once Upon a Time in the West, 81/2, The Leopard, Rocco and His Brothers, Lost CommandFitzcarraldo, Circus World, Cartouche, Escape to Athena, The Magnificent Cuckold, The Professionals, The Pink Panther, Son of the Pink Panther, Blonde in Black Leather, Girl with a Suitcase, All Roads Lead to Rome, Fiasco in Milan, Mafia, Sandra, Bebo's Girl, A Girl in Australia, The Artist and the Model, The Butterfly Affair, The Immortal Bachelor, Big Deal on Madonna Street, Julien's Law, The Facts of Murder, Time of Indifference, The Love Makers, A Summer in La Goulette, La scoumoune, The Iron Prefect, A Fine Pair, Sex Quartet, A Man in Love, Don't Make Waves, Blindfold, The Red Tent, Blood Brothers, Bankers Also Have Souls, Claretta, Blindfold, The Skin, The String, The Ruffian, Mayrig, Father of the Godfathers and the illustrious list goes on. 

You emoted in ways that stayed with a viewer, not only per your obvious beauty, but in deeper ways ... ways that stirred the soul. Perhaps that's why you stood out among the pack, the reason you became an icon. Your prestige will grow even further, dear Claudia, now that you've left us, filling the hole in our hearts with eternal, celluloid dreams.
