Lia Anna Di Leo (22 July 1923 – 15 December 2006) was an Italian actress and model.[1] She entered the 1951 Miss Italy contest and then began acting in films, generally playing glamorous supporting roles.
Di Leo's parents died while she was very young, and as a result she raised her two younger twin brothers, Marion and Tony.
