My acting coach knew what was going on the set--she said that the scene when Anna's charater is told her husband is dead was shattering--instead of yelling and screaming AM gave greater weight to the scene by her eyes and saying "no, no!

[windstorm1000]

Anna, Romy Schneider and Ingrid bergman---three greatest cinema actresses of all time. NATURAL--NO ARTIFACE.

@MrTracythomas1 I think Anna has true beauty that comes from within. She's not your typical pretty barbie doll actress, but she is beautiful in her own way.

Anna Magnani is the goddess worshipped by ancient Greeks & Romans, real, earthy, painful, guilty, shameful, beautiful, & sexual. Woman.

i saw this wonderful movie such a long time ago, and it has always stood out in my memory.

@MrTracythomas1 I see what you mean...but personally I find her quite beautiful, not pretty, but beauti-ful in a beautiful way. I think her intelligence, strength and emotional depth, make her stand out anyway.

@ScarlettOBeara totally agree with you! totalmente d'accordo con te! And you know, she was a great person in real life too, she brought up her son Luca all by herself (her boyfriend at the time, a quite famous Italian actor, left her when she told him she was pregnant), and she battled to give Luca her surname. It was really difficult at that time to be a single mother in Italy...also, an independent- woman like her was seen as a threat, a de-stabilising figure for post-war patriarchal society.
