Alba Maiolini

Alba Maiolini in Return of the Saint (1978)

Alba Maiolini has been one of the most popular extras of Italian cinema. She has acted in more than a hundred films: at times it's difficult to distinguish her between the mass of "extras", other times instead she were entrusted with interesting characterizations. Questioned if she was an "actress" or an "extra", she explained: my qualification was a "generica actress".

An avid smoker, mother of the actress Claudia Majolini and aunt of the actress Paola Majolini, Alba was born in Rome in July 1916. She was a very kind lady who lived in Pietralata, a district of Rome. "In love" with Tomas Milian and Carlo Verdone, she had many photos that portrayed them together and she loved to talked about them as well. She died at the age of 89 in 2005. [E.L.]

Alba Maiolini actually had a few decently sized roles and was credited in a couple of films but the majority of her roles are small and uncredited parts.
I think one of her most "famous" roles is as the zombie woman wearing the scalp of poor Sherry Buchanan in Zombi Holocaust

An image from this scene was also used in various of fotobustas and lobbycards

...e venne il tempo di uccidere (1968) as Mulligan maid

Nice role in Diario segreto da un carcere femminile (1973) as a Prisoner - present in many scenes

With a bizzarre wig in Riuscirà l'avvocato Franco Benenato a sconfiggere il suo acerrimo nemico il pretore Ciccio De Ingras? (1971) as Spectator at process

Squadra antitruffa (1977) as Killer accomplice who hides the rifle

Another famous role as Passerby at the scene of the olive-oil spill in Verdone's cult Un sacco bello (1980)

Il diavolo e l'acquasanta (1983) as Woman praying for the miracle

Taxi Girl (1977) - Double role: as "Generica" for the robbery fiction / Dancer at dance hall

Stasera a casa di Alice (1990) as Nun of miracles, a sort of a sosia of Mother Teresa of Calcutta
