"Grey-haired old woman"

"Grey-haired old woman" in Detenute violente (1983)

An unidentified generica who worked extensively in Italian cinema, from at least the mid 1950s and until the mid 1990s, usually cast in distinctly unglamorous roles. Her most substantial role appears to have been in the women-in-prison film Detenute violente, where she has a pretty big role as the prison's sympathetic cleaning lady and it is "possible" (uncredited) that she is credited there, but impossible to determine for the time being.

She had a lot of fun in Diario segreto in un carcere femminile (1973) as convict...

She appears many times, at least two near Jolanda Fortini (as role was known in this)...

And finally next to Alba Maiolini.

Very big role in Perverse oltre le sbarre (1983) as Margot, the prison's cleaning lady

This is pretty much exactly the same role that she plays in Detenute violente (1983), which was made back-to-back with this film.

Also a small speaking role in Luci lontane (1987) as Old woman
