Emiliano discovered Nancy credited as Nancy Mazzei in the fotoromanzo Tipo N.56: "Non costa niente sognare" (published August 1966) where she plays "la regina" / "the queen"
lecchini fotoromanzo.jpg

lecchini fotoromanzo2.jpg

Indeed, Nancy had a very successful career in fotoromanzi, and her participations in the notorious fotoromanzo nero serial Killing are especially memorable.

Here's Nancy in Killing N. 35: "Le dannate del vizio" (15 February 1968), where she first looks like a nice little lady
Killing 35 - Nancy Lecchini1.jpg

But she's not as nice as she seems as we see later when she is torturing poor Eleonora Geri :o
Killing 35 - Nancy Lecchini2.jpg

Nancy also appears in Killing N. 41: "Un cadavere che vale" (15 May 1968), where she has a very memorable encounter with Killing

But naturally, Nancy also appeared in more traditional fotoromanzi.

Here in "Passione sul Lago Amaro", a fotoromanzo in 4 parts published in Grand Hotel throughout December 1966
Grand Hotel Puntate - Nancy Lecchini2.jpg

"Pietà per gli innocenti", a fotoromanzo in 5 parts published in Grand Hotel from December 1966 to January 1967

Although the majority of roles we've found for Nancy are from the 1960s and 70s, we've also found a few from the 1950s.

The absolute earliest sighting of Nancy is in Amori di mezzo secolo (1954) as a friend of Paola Borboni

Another early discovery is in I pappagalli (1955) in the audience at the concert - identification by Ghibarian
Pappagalli - Horowitz + Lecchini.jpg

Another 1960s role in Stuntman (1968) as a wedding guest - sorry for the crappy quality
