Ivana Novak in La terrificante notte del Demonio (1971)

With a pretty face, big and expressive green eyes and a swollen hair to make her look a little taller, the gorgeous Ivana Gibilisco, alias Ivana Novak (like Kim Novak), began at the cinema in the Sixties with the comedies of Franco & Ciccio, passes through the costume drama, than went to horror 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 small but meaningful roles and she also spoke English. Retired completely from the entertainment world in the late seventies, today she works in a clothing store in Rome.
