Grey-haired old woman

[Johan Melle]

Grey-haired old woman in Detenute violente (1983)

Here is another unidentified generica who worked extensively in Italian cinema, from at least the mid 1950s and until the mid 1990s, usually cast in distinctly unglamorous roles. Her most substantial role appears to have been in the women-in-prison film Detenute violente, where she has a pretty big role as the prison's sympathetic cleaning lady and it is possible (uncredited) that she is credited there, but impossible to determine for the time being.

Very big role in Perverse oltre le sbarre (1983) as Margot, the prison's cleaning lady
