Life
Life
Born in Genoa to a Sardinian father and a Tuscan mother from Garfagnana. In her teen years, she dreamed about becoming an opera singer and enrolled in Teatro Carlo Felice. Later she decided to concentrate on the pop music genre, in 1960, accompanied by mother, she transferred to Milan, where she made her film debut in 1961. The first big success to her career happened a year later, when she was spotted by Mario Monicelli and cast to be the main actress in "Renzo e Luciana", one of the four episodes of Boccaccio '70; the same year she appeared in Bernardo Bertolucci's film debut, La commare secca and acted on stage in Fogli d'album at the Festival dei Due Mondi. Later she starred in a large number of genre films, especially Spaghetti Westerns, and appeared in several successful TV-series. Solinas was nicknamed the Phoenix of Italian cinema because she reimagined herself several times, always with great success transforming into some different kind of performer. As a photomodel, Solinas made 750 covers, and posed for Gina Lollobrigida's photobooks and projects. She was also a singer, and published two albums and several singles, one of these released by La voce del padrone. On set of Boccaccio '70, she met Luigi Tenco. For many years, they remained close friends. After the death of Tenco, she claimed that his demise was not least because of a 6 mln debt he owed to pay a bribe to Sanremo Music Festival management team, and his frustration about clandestine gambling on the results. The Sanremo team sued Solinas in the Spring of 1967. The actress also received threats to hurt her son Davide in attempt to pressure her to retain the statement. She died on 12 February 2019, at the age of 79.
