One of the few Italian actors to achieve fame on a par with Sophia Loren, Marcello Mastroianni was born in 1923. Having appeared as an extra in several films during the early 1940s, his breakthrough came on the stage in the play Angelica. Thereafter a long career in cinema followed, in films like Fellini's La Dolce Vita, Divorce Italian Style for which he was Oscar nominated and The Stranger. Mastroianni also made headlines off-screen and had affairs with many of his leading ladies, including Faye Dunaway and Catherine Deneuve.
