Originally from Colombia, Cristina Airoldi (born Conchita Airoldi) arrived in Italy and started studying theater with the famous playwright, actor and theater director Alessandro Fersen, later becoming a close collaborator of him.[1]

Her little acting career develops mainly in the early seventies. Fascinating, ironic, endowed with an energetic beauty and an overwhelming charisma, she made her cinema debut under the pseudonym of Cristina Airoldi in the film Lo strano vizio della signora Wardh (1970) by Sergio Martino, director who wants her also in his following giallo I corpi presentano tracce di violenza carnale (1973). Unfortunately, these two performances will not be followed by other noteworthy entries for her.

After a few years of absence from the scene, in the late seventies she returned to the limelight as associate producer of the film Immacolata e Concetta (1979) by Salvatore Piscitelli. Subsequently, as owner of Urania Film - which later became Urania Pictures - she gained considerable experience in film and television production. Among the most successful films she produces, there are: Dellamorte Dellamore (1994) by Michele Soavi, Croce e delizia (1995) by Luciano De Crescenzo, À ma sœur! (2001) by Catherine Breillat, and Arrivederci amore, ciao (2006) by Michele Soavi (maybe the best Italian noir of the decade). Following Machan (2008) by Uberto Pasolini and Pasolini (2011) by Abel Ferrara.

Starting with her great role in Lo strano vizio della signora Wardh (1971) as Carol Brandt
The blonde shameless friend of the protagonist, so ironic and successful character that will be revisited by Paola Quattrini, in the year later, in Perchè quelle strane gocce di sangue sul corpo di Jennifer?.

Furthermore, her death will be a clear starting point for one of the best scenes of Dario Argento's giallo 4 mosche di velluto grigio (1971).

Her second thrilling and probably her best performance in I corpi presentano tracce di violenza carnale (1973) as Carol Peterson, a foreing student at University of Perugia haunted by a maniac.

Here she's the protagonist of the legendary scene of the murderer in the birch forest. One of the best sequences ever maked by Sergio Martino.

In La cugina (1974) as a maid

A very brief part in which she tries, unsuccessfully, to seduce Massimo Ranieri. Little remains to be said about this character, who is little more than an appearance.

In Caro diario (1993) as an eccentric event organizer in Panarea

Her last "ciak", when she had been dedicating herself for many years only to the film production. Probably it is a part played for a friendship with the director, already meet at the time of his film "Sogni d'oro" (1981), in which she had a little role too.

Sogni d'oro (1981) as Marco's girlfriend

A very short role in which she is practically visible only in profile.
