I've just found quite a nice role for Josephine in Franco, Ciccio e le vedove allegre (1968) in the segment "La vedova del nonno".

She has a scene at the airport when Raimondo Vianello comes to meet the American widow of his deceased grandfather. He hasn't met her before, so when he sees the old American woman played by Josephine, he assumes she's his "grandmother" and greets her with a kiss, which she finds rather strange :D

He's about to take her home with him, but then he's called on the intercom to meet the real "grandmother" (which turns out to be young, pretty Margaret Lee) and leaves a confused and displeased-looking Josephine behind :p

Also spotted in the American film Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell (1968) as Woman at the fancy restaurant
