The marvellous Italian actor has some surprising revelations – and musical tastes – on BBC’s Desert Island Discs.

    I don’t find any surprises at all in her musical tastes.

    actor?!? Euh, isn’t she an actRESS? She also performed Aida on film!! The film NL refers to is okay but never reaches the gripping heights of Simone Signoret.
