Actor · Born February 27, 1938 (88) · Buenos Aires City, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Marta Susana Yanni Paxot (known professionally as Rosanna Yanni) is an Argentine actress and producer. She debuted in her home town of Buenos Aires, working in revues as a chorus girl before pursuing fashion modeling in Italy for two years. In 1963, Yanni moved to Madrid and launched her film career, which would span over 40 films between 1963 and 1980. Her filmography encompassed multiple genres, though she became particularly recognized for her work in European horror and thriller productions. Notable films include "War Goddess" (1973), "Sonny and Jed" (1972), and "Fangs of the Living Dead" (1969). She also appeared in "Hunchback of the Morgue," "Kiss Me, Monster," and "Frankenstein's Bloody Terror," establishing herself as a prominent figure in Spanish cinema during the 1960s and 1970s. After an extended hiatus, she resumed her acting career in the late 1990s. Beyond acting, Yanni expanded her creative involvement in film production, adding producer credits to her professional portfolio. Yanni's extensive body of work across four decades has made her a recognizable presence in European cinema, particularly within the Spanish film industry where she established her career foundation.

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.
