Maria Mannelli was a generica who can be found in many movies in the 50s and 60s. Her most famous role can be found in I mostri (1963), as the unlucky Mrs. Cecconi, an older woman who is kidnapped by the crew of an eccentric director, in order to make her the star of a scene in which she's forced to jump in a pool... for 13 times!
