Could the woman in the circle be our elegant generica? This is from a 1965 Carosello sketch, and she's waiting in line at the cinema with Sideburns-man.

She has a very small role in the fotoromanzo Moulin Rouge N. 41: "Dal collegio al carcere" (16 October 1963). She only appears in a few photos and there are no good close-ups but this is our generica for sure
Milena Zampana - Moulin Rouge N. 41 (1).jpg

But even though her role was very small, the cast list for this fotoromanzo is very long and includes even the very small parts as you can see
Milena Zampana - Moulin Rouge N. 41 (2).jpg

Our generica appears to be playing some kind of teacher, and the cast list credits a certain MILENA ZAMPANA with the role of 'maestra'. This description does not fit anyone else in the story, so my conclusion is that our generica is indeed named Milena Zampana. So there! Another one identified!! :D

And then in a very short time period I suddenly found the name of not one, not two but THREE generici! I still cannot really believe all this luck! :)

I have also found Milena in another fotoromanzo. Moulin Rouge N. 80: "Incontrarti e perderti" (15 June 1965). Here she plays a very big and substantial role, yet this time she is not credited!

Here is another entry for Milena's filmography - an uncredited but very cool role in Poliziotti violenti (1976)! Milena plays an elegant customer in a jewelry shop
Milena Zampana - Poliziotti violenti1.jpg

But all of a sudden she starts feeling faint and an ambulance is called
Milena Zampana - Poliziotti violenti2.jpg
Milena Zampana - Poliziotti violenti3.jpg
Milena Zampana - Poliziotti violenti4.jpg

But the whole thing turns out to be a set-up. The ambulance personnel are robbers and Milena is actually their accomplice!

The robbers then finally hide the guns and the stolen jewelry together with Milena under the blanket and carry her out to the ambulance. Not a very big role for Milena but certainly a very memorable one! :clap:
