Tecnica di un omicidio (1966) as Girl in bed with Tony
Unfortunately, we never get a very good look at Kitty here, and it doesn't help that my copy is rather poor. Thankfully, this scene between Kitty and Franco Nero was heavily featued in a lot of promotional stills, photos etc where we see Kitty much more clearly

Gungala, la vergine della giungla (1967) credited, as Gungala. In spite of the prominent first billing, Kitty is really more of a supporting character in this jungle adventure, spening much of the running time either observing the action from a tree top, or cuddling with various wild animals

Re: Kitty Swan
After the Gungala movies, Kitty starred in the Spanish-Italian jungle adventure Zan, re della giungla (1969), a Tarzan rip-off with Steve Hawkes in the leading role. It appears that due to rights issues, the protagonist was called Zan in the Italian version, and Tarzan in the Spanish version known as Tarzan en la gruta del oro. Kitty plays the Amazon Irula that falls in love with Zan.

Re: Kitty Swan
Kitty and her co-star Steve Hawkes re-united for a second jungle adventure called Tarzan e la pantera nera a.k.a. Tarzan y el arco iris (1972), with Kitty in the role of Irula, Tarzan's woman.
This film was originally shot in 1970, and in October that year while on location in Rainbow Springs, Florida, some unskilled pyrotechnicians caused a fire during the shooting of a scene where Kitty and Steve Hawkes are tied up by the bad guys. Unable to escape the flames since they were tied up, Kitty and Steve both suffered serious burn wounds before being rescued, and this terrible incident brought Kitty's career to an abrupt end. Somewhat surprisingly, the scene of Kitty and Steve being tied up and a fire started still remain in the film, although thankfully not the footage of them being burned
Because this accident occurred before the film was finished, Kitty has only a very marginal role, and some of her scenes had to be made later on with a body double who is shot only from behind
