Claudia Cardinale
The amazing Claudia Cardinale is probably one of the most famous actresses to come out of Italy in history. Well, she was actually born in Tunisia, but won a contest and was named “Most Beautiful Italian Girl in Tunisia.” Her prize was a trip to Italy where she became a huge film star. Over her career she starred in more than 142 movies! After retiring from Hollywood, she’s worked as an activist, specifically as a UNESCO goodwill ambassador.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus
We all fell in love with the hysterical Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine in the sitcom of the century, Seinfeld. Well, her career didn’t just cease to exist after the show ended. As you probably know, she has won Emmys for her hilarious HBO show, Veep. Sadly, she announced in September 2017 that she was diagnosed with breast cancer. We’re all rooting for you Julia!
