[Emiliano]

One of her first roles in Sansone contro i pirati (1963) as Sara, a Spanish slave freed by Sansone.

A good supporting role. She participates in various scenes of the film.

[Emiliano]

Her starring film, Camillo Mastrocinque's La cripta e l'incubo (1964) as Countess Laura Karnstein.
A gothic horror with a thin vein of lesbianism, almost alluded to.

[Emiliano]

In La grande notte di Ringo (1966) as Annette, the saloon prostitute.
Another good role as the only female protagonist, maltreated by Ringo.

[Emiliano]

Only a little part in Come svaligiammo la banca d'Italia (1966) as one of the ex-girlfriends of Franco & Ciccio.

[PeplumParadise]

La sfida dei Giganti (1965) credited as Audrey Amber, as Deianira

[Emiliano]

A sexy role in Malenka, la nipote del vampiro (1969) as Blinka, the vampiress.

Her entry into the scene is the most effective, with a tête-à-tête with Anita Ekberg...

...even if the menage with Ekberg does not go well, she does not lose heart and also seduces some young men.

This is a very important movie for Adriana's filmography and perhaps the last in which she plays a significant part.
