She made her film debut as a child in 1934, in the film ‘Three angular hats’ (Il cappello a tre punte), a period which critics aptly dubbed the era of ‘movie white phones’. When the frame appeared a white phone and it showed the wealth of the characters in contrast to the much more common models is black.
