This was probably somewhere around 1953-1954, as Bellissima premiered in the US in 1953. Also, as Magnani says, she never made an American picture by that time. It was still five years in the future when she co-starred with Brando in Sidney Lumet's The Fugitive Kind.

@neonknights I mean taught. Sorry. Well, you see I'm just a non-English European. :D

Kurt Vonnegut wrote that Americans are teached from childhood not to care about other languages, other cultures, anything which is not American or English. Anna Magnani was one of the most brilliant actresses of the 20th century, she is just not that well-known in the US, because she rarely worked on English language films. You shall check out her amazing filmography (most of the greatest titles were mentioned here by others). I especially recommend Mamma Roma.

@TheBigValley This is a wonderful vintage TV clip! As well as being a fantastic actress, she had perfect hand-writing too. I really miss seeing that these days. They don't teach, "script writing" anymore.

Che gran pezzo di gnocca che era a quell'età

@TheTubePortal I like her in the movie "Nella città l'inferno" (I don't know its English title) directed by Renato Castellani in 1957 and "La sciantosa" by Alfredo Giannetti 1971. These are my favorite but other greats are "Bellissima" by Luchino Visconti, "Roma città aperta" and " L'amore" by Roberto Rossellini and "Mamma Roma" by Pier aolo Pasolini.

@buffalmacco76 Is there any particular role or film that you like the best? What, in your opinion, is her best performance? I might like to rent a DVD of what you recommend.

@TheTubePortal So, I apologise. I didn't understand. For me (but for many many actors too, such as Bette Davis, Barbra Straisand, Marlon Brando,Robert De Niro, Maryl Streep) Anna Magnani has considerated the best actress ever lived. Unfortunately she is not so famous abroad Italy just because she rarely played in english (3 or 4 times only). Here on youtube you can find a lot of videos taken from her movies.

@buffalmacco76 Calm down. You misunderstood me. My question was a friendly one - I was asking you what you like about her? What made her a good actress? What were some of her best roles? Tell me about her. I wasn't being critical, I was being curious. Yes, I could go to the page on Wikipedia, but I prefer to see what a fan thinks about her, and what you recommend.

People who don't know her brilliant work need to check it out. I think Tennessee Williams said she was the greatest actress he ever worked with, and that includes Jessica Tandy, Vivien Leigh, and Katharine Hepburn -- so that's saying something.
