Lina Franchi in ...e venne il tempo di uccidere (1968)

Lina Franchi, for over twenty years, was one of the most active extras of the Italian cinema. Characterized by a particularly intense feline gaze and sturdy body, she was always preferred for interpreting roles of peasants, prostitutes, housewives. In the few showy roles in which she has participated, she has always shown nice acting skills.
