Daniele Giordano was born in Palermo on November 7th, 1946. One meter seventy tall, black hair[4], daughter of a bank official, she began her career at the age of 19, after winning Miss Italy 1966 contest in Salsomaggiore.[1, 2]

Previously she had won the titles of Miss Palermo and Miss Sicily.[3] Graduated in English at the British College, at the Miss Europe 1967 contest she comes third[4] and during her promotional travels she was also made an honorary citizen of New Jersey (US).[5]

She combined beauty with cinema from her debut with Franco Franchi and Ciccio Ingrassia in the film I barbieri di Sicilia (1967). Consequently, she starred in over 40 films, especially during the 70s, mostly in genre movies (western, historical, thriller and crime), including the brilliant comedy Vedo nudo (1969) directed by Dino Risi, working alongside Nino Manfredi.

After leaving the show business at the end of the decade, she has always maintained great confidentiality about her private life and for over 30 years she was married to Emilio Latini, a photographer of film stars and vips, continuing to cultivate the hobby of writing, parapsychology, ufology and publishing some books, like her autobiography Tre vite in una (2020)[3, 6] and The Dreams Visitor (2021).

After a short illness, she died at the age of 74 in Palermo on December 18, 2022. Cremated, she wanted her ashes to be scattered in the Mondello sea where she lived and where she was chosen for the first time as Miss Palermo, in the historic club named Sirenetta.[3, 5]
