Maria Mascarello (alias Maria Mascarielli/Ambra Mascarello) was a background actress apparently credit only in the movie
Estratto dagli archivi segreti della polizia di una capitale europea (1972). She had a typical "Fellini face" and indeed she appeared in many films of Fellini. Her "real" name was found in the book
Fellini's Faces (1982).

Here is Maria's entry in the Annuario degli attori 1977, which is how I was able to identify her:
As mentioned, Maria often appears in the films of Federico Fellini and here she is in
Fellini Satyricon (1969) as one the women of the theater group at the start of the film:
She also appears in
Fellini - Block notes di un regista (1969) as one of the many women who come to Fellini's office to try to convince him to give her a role in his new film:

Another Fellini role in
Il Casanova di Federico Fellini (1976) where Maria appears as a dinner guest:
And then she re-appears later in
Il Casanova in another scene - again as a dinner guest:
And I
think this is Maria in another Fellini role as a dancing party guest in
La città delle donne (1980):

Maria also appears as one of the devil worshippers in
Estratto dagli archivi segreti della polizia di una capitale europea (1972)
In the cast list there is a certain Ambra Mascarello credited, and I think this could actually be a credit for Maria.

And here is Maria in a real cult role in
Emanuelle e le porno notti (1978) as an old stripper!
But the audience doesn't like her and start throwing vegetables at her! :lol:

It seems that maybe Tinto Brass, too, liked Maria peculiar features, because he used her in a "hot" role in
Salon Kitty (1975):

And I have now discovered another role for Maria and am happy to inform that she has a very big (but sadly uncredited) role in the famous cult movie
Trastevere (1971):
I'm not entirely sure what role she's playing, though. She's clearly a prostitute but also seems to be a close relative of some of the other characters. Usually, I can understand Italian okay, but here everyone speaks in dialect so I couldn't understand
anything! Anyway, the film is on YouTube here:

So maybe someone who understands dialect better than me can say exactly what her role is and if she has a character name.

I'm pretty sure this is Maria at the awards show in
The Lonely Lady (1983) - the woman in black on the right

restaurant diner
