Silvia Dionisio

Actor · Born September 28, 1951 (75) · Roma, Lazio, Italy

Born 28 September 1951 in Rome, daughter of a pediatrician, Silvia Dionisio made her debut in the world of cinema when she was 14 years old in the movie Darling (1965, John Schlesinger). In 1967 she won the beauty contest Miss Teenager. After a few "musicarelli" movies, where she met director Ruggero Deodato (whom she married december 5, 1971), she got her first main role in the 1970 movie "A Girl Called Jules" (La ragazza di nome Giulio). She had a son (Saverio Deodato Dionisio, later actor), then divorced in 1979. In 1975 she was the star of the movie "Ondata di piacere" (directed by her husband Deodato) which turned her in one of the most beautiful and elegant erotic icons of the period. In late 1970s she played in several action ("polizieschi") movies. She ended her cinematographic career in 1981 with the thriller "Murder Obsession". In 1983 she married the Roman surgeon Roberto Mazzarella, with whom he had a daughter. Her last public appearance was in a 1984 Campari advertising directed by Federico Fellini.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
