Jtalian Actress Held Teaching Certificate Prior to Contest
By BL'UT ANDERSON
. I'nited Press International .
ROME l'Pl) - Claudia Car
dinale. Italy's brightest young
film star, wishes people would
quit comparing her to Sophia
Loren and Gina Lollobrigida.
"I'm not at all like either of
them." she said while winding
up her scenes in the film "The
Indifferent Ones" in Rome. "I'd
like to be thought of as just,
plain Claudia Cardinale."
The 23-year-old actress, who
reluctantly started her career
less than five years ago after
winning a beauty contest in her
native Tunisia, doesn't consider
herself the usual type of movie
star at all.
"I'm introverted," she said.
"Other actresses seem to be
more outgoing than me. More
exuberant. But I've always been
shy and I don't think I'll ever
change."
The poised, brown - haired
beauty paused a moment, then
admitted: "I have changed in
one respect, though.
"I love acting now and I was
certain I wouldn't when I start
ed." Seeks Own Image
Despite her desire to have her
own image, Miss Cardinale ex
presses great admiration for
both her illustrious peers. "Gina
is a good friend of mine, a won
derful woman and a fine ac
tress. I've never met Sophia, but
I think her acting is excellent
and she's certainly a beautiful
woman. Us flattering to have
people compare us. but it's
wrong." i
There's no mistaking the fact,
however, that Claudia is Italy's
hottest female film property
since "La Loren" and "La Loi
la." And Claudia is very much
properly.
Her recent movies include
Dederico Dellin's "Eight and
One-half," "The Leopard" with
Burt Lancaster. "The Pink Pan
ther" with David Niven and
The Indifferent Ones," with
Rod Steiger. Shelley Winters,
Paulette Goddard and Thomas
Milian.
Miss Cardinale is flying to
Spain to begin Samuel Broil;
ston s epic "The Circus. in
which she will co-star w ith John
Wayne.
Miss Cardinale was interview
ed in the dining room of the
Roman villa where the entire
film "The Indifferent Ones" was
shot. She started to read an ar
ticle about herself in an Italian
magazine, then put it down.
"Sometimes you can get the
strangest impressions of your
self from these," she said. "As
though you're an entirely differ
ent person. I don't think I've
changed mucii at all."..
Started to Teach
The daughter of an Italian
railroad worker in Tunis and a
French mother, Claudia was
ready five years ago to become

a teacher in the poverty-stricken
Sahara Desert of Tunisia. She
had a teacher's certificate and
full intention of trying to do
something to help the young
sters of a desert town get an
education. i
But then she was pulled into
a contest (or the "most beauti
ful Italian of Tunis" and won
easily. The prize was a trip to
the Venice film festival. From
then on movie offers came to
her "until I couldn't bear it
anymore. I returned to Tunis
and refused to sign a contract
with anyone." she recalled.
It took a producer six months
to sell her on the movies, she
said. She coame to Rome with
her parents, two brothers and a
sister and tmik a home in Cas
te! Giubileo, a small town out
side the city.
First Film Success
Her first film, "Big Deal on
Madonna Street," started her on
the way to success. Now. 21
films later, she admits movies
are in her blood.
"Sometines 1 think I'd like to
take a rest," she says. "Bui I
really don't have time. There's
always a new role to consider
and its nice to get into a movie.
I work hard, but I like it more
all the time.
"I often think I'd like to have
a house all to mvself in the
country." she said. "A place
where 1 could gather my
thouehts be'ween films and re
lax a little." I
As Miss Cardinale walked
through her final scenes in "The
Indifferent Ones," an assistant
who has worked on several
films with the star offered a bit
of praise.
"Claudia has qualities that set
her apart from most other stars
I've known," he said. "She's al
ways calm and amiable. She has
an attractive simplicity, a lack
of complication that you would
n't expect in a girl of that age
who's had so much success. You
couldn't find an easier person
to work with."
Had he worked with Gina and
Sofia.
I "Yes." he said, "and they're
'different from Claudia. Three
distinct personalities."
Claudia Cardinale wishes
more people would say that.
