Alexeievna, Inna

Inna Alexeievna in Fellini's Faces (1982)
Inna Alexeievna (alias Inna Alexeieff) began her career as background actress in Italian cinema when she was already an old lady, at least from mid 40s, to continue until the end of the seventies.

She's most known for her role in Il giardino dei Finzi Contini (1970), but many will remember also her, as the granny, in Il gatto dagli occhi di giada (1977). She even appears in some American productions shot in Italy, such as King Vidor's War and Peace (1956) and Sidney Lumet's The Appointment (1969).

Here's the pic of Inna from the already known Dracula cerca sangue di vergine... e morì di sete! a.k.a. Blood for Dracula (1974) where Inna has a very small but credited role as an old tavern waitress

I think I've also found her as a party guest in The Naked Maja (1958) but it's hard to say since the version I have is very poor
PIC LOST


Unfortunately, the version I have of Arabella (1967) is very bad, too, but this is surely Inna as Margaret Rutherford's maid
