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 was entrusted with interesting characterizations. Questioned by Simone Ribeiro 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.

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
