ELSA
MARTINELLI IS
ACTRESS,
MODEL,
WELL-GARBED
COUNTESS
Elsa
Martinelli is a prizewinning film actress, a strikingly handsome model, and, by
her recent marriage, a countess who has a distinctive way of wearing clothes.
Elsa Martinelli (φωτο Life magazine)
A rising
young designer named Roberto Capucci foresaw the triple threat in Elsa and
plucked her from her barmaid’s job four years ago to model his first
collection.
She went on
to become a top model in Paris and New York, went out to make a movie in
Hollywood where, even when cast as an American Indian, she gave the squaw dress
a special style.
She returned
to Italy to do more movies and last June married Count Franco Mancinelli
Scotti.
Despite her
way with clothes, Elsa has had a very limited wardrobe in the half-dozen movies
she has made.
In fact, in
her first movie, “The Indian Fighter”, she took off the squaw dress only long
enough to cause a momentary sensation by wearing nothing at all.
Since then,
she has been cast mainly as either peasant or waif, and although she has not looked
very fashionable she has shown plenty of style.
Director
Vittorio De Sica, who hopes to use Elsa soon in a picture, calls her “the most
stylized woman in the world. She looks as if she had been designed by an
artist.”
Elsa works
hard to give that impression. She diets by eating only an apple for breakfast,
and on a recent visit to New York took time out for exercise. She doesn’t much
like exercise but feels it helps her figure and her disposition.
