Identify generici in fotoromanzi

Post by Ciavazzaro » 20/01/2024, 0:25

I open this topic for a specific reason.

There are some fotoromanzi series in which sadly despite having big cast list, they never write the name of the charachter, so in order to found the names of the actors we have to make an exclusion work.

Considering Johan is still the biggest expert on fotoromanzi haha, i open this so that he can help me and us identify some fotoromanzi actors i still don't know well, so we can make new identifications and possible new generici.

I think Elena Altieri should play the mother in the fotoromanzo (given the age i can found online of her) plus she have many roles to check.

Margherita Mandrà is credited in the movie Il magnaccio (1969) so if anyone have it, we can check and see what of the actress is, and hopefully once discovered, we can found additional movies roles for her !

I suppose you are right about Elena Altieri. Not very familiar with her. The older woman in the fotoromanzo is someone I have definitely seen before, though.
In that case, it seems likely that the younger blonde woman should be Margherita Mandrà.

I would say that the nun with glasses is actually Rossella D'Aquino rather than Margherita Gagliano.

Can't name the policeman but he is a familiar face from other fotoromanzi.

Actually i have a fotoromanzo where he is credited, but im in doubt that is right, because he is credited as Vittorio Calò, i have to say the other actors in the fotoromanzo are credited right (we have in that same one a nice little credited role for Mara Carisi) and plus i saw in some fotoromanzi this older man together with the young Vittorio.

I think is very possible they have the same name maybe (maybe he is the father or grandfather of Vittorio and they have give the young one the same name a very common thing at the time) plus we have already other examples of actors with the same name
Just think about Carlo Cattaneo, we know Carlo is former's Lella's husband name but in italian movies we have also another younger actor
named Carlo Cattaneo

So what do you think about this identification ?

It wouldn't be the first time there is a mistake in a cast list. Anyway, your theory could of course be correct, but it's impossible to say unless a second credited role appears, I think.

That's the reason so far i did not post his pics from that fotoromanzo, but im sure sooner or later a second role will be found.
From my experience all the actors in fotoromanzi are credited at least 2 times.
