If there is one actress who deserves to be described as a 'great', then that actress is Claudia Cardinale.

Who knew that the Beauty Pageant winner would possess an acting talent and presence so rare, that she would star alongside fellow greats like John Wayne, Burt Lancaster, Rita Hayworth, Marcello Mastroanni, Peter Sellers, David Niven, Henry Fonda, to name a few, and be directed by the genius' of cinema that are Visconti, Fellini and Leone.
Europe was mesmerised by the beautiful Italian girl who triumphed in memorable films such as Girl With A Suitcase, and Cartouche. Those dark flashing eyes soon caught the attention of Italy's finest, Fellini and Visconti. For 8 & A Half, Fellini cast her as Claudia, every man's dream. For The Leopard, Visconti cast her as Angelica, the most beautiful girl in Sicily. She then went on to star in the comedy classic, The Pink Panther. Her fiery side was shown in the classic western, The Professionals. However, it was her performance in Sergio Leone's Once Upon A Time In The West that immortalised the already highly regarded actress. We will never forget the moment her character Jill McBain first appears in the film, which today is regarded as one of the greatest.The fact that she never signed a contract with the big studios meant CC never gained the celebrity status or phenomenal fame that fellow Italian Sophia Loren experienced. However, it guaranteed an extraordinary quality of work. Even today, there are few who can boast CC's filmography. Claudia Cardinale is one of THE great actresses in the history of film. The richness, realism and strength that came across in her performances stand high above many. Her beauty is beyond compare, totally natural and alluring. She is still working in the industry to this day. She is an incredible woman, whom I admire greatly and am extremely proud to be named after.

The music is "Gabriel's Oboe" and " Once Upon A Time In The West". Both are composed by Ennio Morricone.

Thanks for this beautiful video it's the best of Claudia I have seen, you have perfectly captured her magic & beauty, I have sent it round FB in the hope that the younger ones amongst us will see a truly beautiful & elegant lady not fake & phony "look at me A lister" like a lot of today's so called beauties, they don't come close to her xx Claudia you are beautiful XX

[jamesgd7]

[blodding]

[kretincooper]

Wow!

[geobruf123]

shwiiiing!!!

[darlingip]

@PWisArt completely agree, but not only megan fox, but also people who take natalie portman, scarlett johanson and angelina jolie as example of beauty, they are more beautiful than megan but not compare to claudia, brigitte bardot,sophia loren and others. people have to live with their time but w/o forgetting those actresses, incomparable. it irritates me when those people compare those women to actresses who didnt need photoshop to look beautiful, our generation should look at classic beauties

[gladiator4457]

to wake and see her face close, looking at you,then you would think you had died and you were looking into the face of an angel, she is beyond the word beauty,i hope one day to meet her,i suppose that will be in the hearafter but i can wait, time is nothing although claudia is worth waiting for,the film industry,the world, dont know how lucky it is to have her presence, i bet her husband and family know what its like.

[MrKlippagubben]

My good...True beauty..

[Drunkenmaster770]

beautiful video & music and of course! actress

[PWisArt]

@Karosanyo And todays generation of kids (for the most part, as I witness it first hand), think people like Megan Fox for example are the definition of beautiful ... I pity them. Megan Fox is hot and all, but Claudia Cardinale, and a buch of other European actresses from the 1960s were just on another planet in terms of beauty.

What are you bickering about? the music, whatever theme, who cares, The reality is that she is one hell of a woman that every good old boy would desire to go south on her!! With best wishes from,
