And now credited again "La figlia dell'assassino" (published in Sogno from July to December 1956), which is probably the biggest role of Lydia's career! A really terrific part for her!

And finally what appears to be Lydia's final fotoromanzo role from the 1950s - a credited role in "La donna del sogno", published in Polvere di Stelle from April 1957 and onwards

And now some more movie roles! Here's Lydia in a terrific role as a maîtresse in Fellini's Roma (1972)

spotted by Ghibarian

As signalized by Ghibarian in the old forum, it's also possible that Lydia appears in another scene in Roma as a bus passenger, but it's hard to be sure

Corruzione al palazzo di giustizia (1975) as Wedding guest
Corruzione Al Palazzo - Lydia Zanussi.jpg

Le orme (1975) as Chairwoman at the international congress

Note that in both these films she appears alongside Luciano Zanussi. I wonder if it's just a coincidence that they have the same surname or if they are perhaps related....

Arrivano i gatti (1980), as an Old woman at the notary's office. When the notary calls his assistant Franco Oppini who just drugged himself in the bath, he presents in front of Lydia, naked and our dearest begins to scream!! Very funny role.
