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.
