Ivana Novak in La terrificante notte del Demonio (1971)

The gorgeous Ivana Gibilisco, a.k.a. Ivana Novak (like Kim Novak), began at the cinema with the comedies of Franco and Ciccio in the sixties, then went to the erotic-horror genre, with the cult movie La terrificante notte del Demonio by Jean Brismee and ended up acting in the vein of the "poliziotteschi". She often played only small but meaningful roles and she also spoke English.

I've always loved her pretty face, her big green eyes and swollen hair, to make her look a little taller, since her body, albeit proportionate, was tiny. Retired completely from the entertainment world in the late seventies, today she works in a clothing store in Rome.

In Napoli violenta (1976) she plays the part of an undercover policewoman who punches the criminals (and takes a few slaps)

In La polizia è sconfitta (1977) she plays again the part of an undercover policewoman and has an exchange of slaps with Nello Pazzafini. This is probably her last known role.
