Re: Chanel, Hélène
La ragazza del prete (1970) credited, role uncertain though she appears to be a TV presenter.
This seems to be another rather obscure one. The only copy I was able to find, on You Tube, was very poor quality and without sound, so I was unable to definitely determine Hélène's role. She only appears very briefly.

Labbra di lurido blu (1975) as Elli's mother.
This exploitation film is somewhat of an anomaly in Hélène's filmography. She only appears very briefly in a flashback sequence, playing the mother of fellow former peplum actress Lisa Gastoni's lead character. Her entire role consists of her lying naked in bed and having the covers pulled back. This was the only occasion Hélène appeared naked on screen and the role is uncredited. I can only imagine that she took the role because she needed the money.

Il bocconcino (1976) credited as Elene Chanel, as Michela.
According to a mention in the book "Femme Fatales: Women in Espionage Films and Television, 1962-1973" by Tom Lisanti and Louis Paul, this was an experimental film that was deemed unreleasable by it's producers and ended up on the porno circuit with hardcore sexual footage inserted - though the 10 minute clip where I found Helene's images certainly did not give this impression (this actually sounds like it would be a more apt description for Labbra di lurido blu).
