Always a pleasure when our beloved generici show up in Hollywood productions filmed in Italy.

Here's Franca (together with Christopher Reeve) as a maid in Monsignor (1982)

She even has a double role in this film because she shows up again a little later - this time as a nun

Franca remained active right up until her death in November 1999. Here are two of her final acting roles:

She plays a Maria, a customer of the clothes shop in the TV series Commesse (1999), appearing first in episode 3: "Fiorenza"

She also shows up in episode 4: "Paola" - both times uncredited

And then a credited role as a witness in Don Matteo - episode 8: "Il piccolo angelo" (shot in 1999 but transmitted in 2000, after Franca's death)
