Donatella Damiani, born Donatella Casula on January 6, 1955, in Naples, Italy, is a multifaceted Italian actress and model who has captivated audiences with her diverse range of roles.
As the daughter of a ministerial employee, Donatella relocated to Rome at a young age, where she would later pursue her passion for the arts. Prior to her acting career, she studied political science, but it was her early start in the mysterious Nazisploitation film Liebes Lager (1976) that marked the beginning of her journey in the entertainment industry.
One of Donatella's most iconic roles is that of the soubrette in Federico Fellini's The City of Women (1980),where she embodied a sweet, protective, seductive, flirtatious, exuberant, and contradictory character with a distinctive Neapolitan inflection. Her subsequent films, including Miele di donna (1981) and Il peccato di Lola (1985),showcased her rounded figure, particularly her generous breasts, which Fellini affectionately referred to as "a pagliaro".
In addition to her film work, Donatella has also appeared in various photographic services, gracing the covers of glamorous magazines in 1986. She has also made appearances on television, participating in the popular show Fantastico 9 alongside Enrico Montesano in 1988. Furthermore, she has posed nude for prominent erotic publications, including Playboy and Playmen, as well as the pornographic magazine Le Ore.
