After having enjoyed a terrific fotoromanzo career in the 1950s, it seems as if Lydia took a break from acting in fotoromanzi. At least I haven't been able to find any fotoromanzi with her from the 1960s. Maybe she was too busy with films in this period? She did, however, return to the pages of Sogno with the fotoromanzo "I giorni dell'odio e dell'amore" (published in Sogno from January to June 1970), where she has a very nice but uncredited role

She also shows up in a few more 1970s fotoromanzi. Here as a nosy concierge who listens at the doors in Le avventure di Jacques Douglas N. 108: "Susan e Ken: Un amore unico al mondo" (September 1974)

And here as a maid in Cineromanzo N. 6: "Nancy nel deserto" (June 1974)

And finally in what was very probably Lydia's final fotoromanzo, a pretty big supporting role in the all-star cast production "I fratelli Zaccheo", published in Grand Hotel from April to November 1984

Phew! It's been a big work, but I've now added all the pictures for Lydia, as well and upgraded a few with pics from higher quality sources and replaced some lost pics. All that's missing are pics from six films (see first post for details), so anyone who has those films are welcome to post pics.

Here on the left in La cage aux folles, a.k.a. Il vizietto (1978) as Nightclub client

Lydia is not very visible here, but it's her for sure - with the same outfit she also wears in Natale in casa d'appuntamento and Una vacanza del cactus!
