Actress Gina Lollobrigida, one of the biggest stars of European cinema in the 1950s and 60s, has died aged 95, Italian news agency Ansa has reported.
Often described as “the most beautiful woman in the world”, her films included Crossed Swords, the Hunchback of Notre Dame and Beautiful But Dangerous.
She co-starred alongside the likes of Humphrey Bogart, Frank Sinatra, Rock Hudson and Errol Flynn.
Her career faded in the 1960s and she moved into photography and politics.
