Raika Juri in a forotomanzo.

Class 1944, Raika Juri (Jurcec) born in Zagabria (Croatia). Great interpreter of Fotoromanzi, above all those that signed by "Lancio", in which, until the mid-nineties, she almost always plays secondary roles. In the seventies she also appears as a meteor in the Italian cinema, in small roles and in comedies with Franco and Ciccio.

A little nice role with few lines.

In the famous tear-jerker movie L'ultima neve di primavera (1973) as Luca's mother. The character is dead before the start of the film, so she is only seen in a photograph and an old 8mm movie

Very big role in the crime movie L'unica legge in cui credo (1975) as Wanda

This film's cast is made up of regular actors from the Lancio fotoromanzi, including Raika, and was written and directed by Raika's then-husband, Lancio actor Claudio Giorgi, who plays the leading role. He and Raika share a few romantic moments in this film

Credited as Raika Iuri, she actually receives first billing here!

In the tear-jerker Ancora una volta a Venezia (1976) as Elisabetta. Another movie written and directed by Raika's husband Claudio Giorgi and with the entire cast made up of actors from the Lancio fotoromanzi. Raika plays the antagonistic character who stands in the way of the protagonists' happiness - exactly the kind of role she specialized in playing in the Lancio fotoromanzi
