Scuderoni, Pupita Lea

[Johan Melle]

Pupita Lea Scuderoni, in The Way of the Dragon (1972)

Pupita Lea Scuderoni, together with Lella Cattaneo, Lydia Zanussi and Maria Tedeschi, was one of the most recognizable and prolific "golden girls" of the Italian generici scene. It seems she was credited only in the sleazy horror movie Malabimba (1979) and in the rare TV movie Scheggia di vento (1988), but throughout her long career she also played several significant uncredited roles, most notably in the famous western Il grande silenzio (1968), in the decamerotic comedy Decameron proibitissimo (Boccaccio mio statte zitto) (1972) and in the "nunsploitation" movie La vera storia della monaca di Monza (1980).

She was identified by Tibor Robert Szücs, thanks to her credited role in Scheggia di vento (1988) on September 30, 2010.
