Toros, Rosita

[Emiliano]

Rosita Toros in a fotoromanzo

Rosita Toros (Gorizia, November 10, 1945 [1] — Udine, December 8, 1995) was born from a family of Austro-Hungarian origin. She lived the years of her youth in Udine, where she left her university studies (she attended the Faculty of Literature) to move to Rome and attempt a career as an actress. [1]

She passed the exams at the Academy of Dramatic Art, but then («frightened - she sad - by the austerity of the environment and the columns of the building») she decided to revolve the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia, where she hoped to find an environment «free and less academic». [1]

There she adopts his stage name Torosh and meets and become great friend of another very active actress of the C.S.C., Carla Mancini. [2]

Rosita Toros became definitely the most beautiful and one of the most talented C.S.C. actress of the seventies. She joined in many successful films, never obtaining, unfortunately, a role as a true protagonist, despite her nice acting skills.

In the 1972 she was nominated president of one of the many italian naturist leagues, named "LIN" (Lega Italiani Nudisti), founded in the year before. [3]

Sadly, the precious Rosita gone prematurely at the age of 50 due an incurable disease.
