Mara Carisi

[Johan Melle]

Mara Carisi portrayed in the book "Fellini's faces"

Alias: Maria Carisi, Marisa Carisi

Mara Carisi is another generica with a very long career in fotoromanzi, credited many times, but she also appeared in many movies during the 1960s and 70s. Her biggest roles are found in Voto di castità (1976) as one of the prostitutes and in SS Lager 5 - L'inferno delle donne (1976) as the madam of the concentration camp brothel.

Prior to identifying her, we nicknamed her "Big lady with hair band" because she sometimes uses a sort of hair accessory.

And she gambles again in Roma a mano armata (1976) - next to Umberto Amambrini

And here she is at the airport in La via della droga (1977)

[Johan Melle]

In SS Lager 5 - L'inferno delle donne (1976) she has a really GREAT role! She plays Magda, the woman who runs bordello in the concentration camp. She appears in many scenes and has much dialogue!

She even gets to be a little sexy!

In Lager SSadis Kastrat Kommandantur (1976) she plays Magda, the madam who runs the bordello in the concentration camp. It's the same as the role she played in SS Lager 5: L'inferno delle donne, only this time the role is a little smaller.
