Rossella Falk (10 November 1926 – 5 May 2013) was an Italian actress.
Life and career
Born in Rome as Rosa Antonia Falzacappa, Falk graduated at the Accademia d'Arte Drammatica in May 1948, a few months after having been awarded best new actress at the World Youth Festival in Prague.[1] In a few years she established herself as one of the more talented and requested Italian stage actress.[1] In 1951 she started a long collaboration with the director Luchino Visconti with the role of Stella in an adaptation of the play A Streetcar Named Desire.[1]
In 1954, after having worked at the Piccolo Teatro in Milan, directed by Giorgio Strehler in La mascherata, Falk started, together with Giorgio De Lullo, Anna Maria Guarnieri, Romolo Valli and Umberto Orsini, the stage company "La compagnia dei giovani" with whom she achieved national and international success.[1] Leaving the company in the 1970s, she continued her stage career working among others with Franco Zeffirelli, Gabriele Lavia, Giuseppe Patroni Griffi.[1]
Less active in cinema, she is probably best known for her role in Federico Fellini's 8½, Falk was also active in television series and radio plays.[1] Her last work was the 2009 stage play Est Ovest, in which she was directed by Cristina Comencini.[2]
