MARCELLO MASTROIANNI

'Marcello Vincenzo Domenico Mastroianni' (September 28, 1924 – December 19, 1996) was an Academy Award nominated Italian film actor.
Born in Fontana Liri, a small village in the Apennines, Mastroianni grew up in Turin and Rome. During World War II he was interned in a Nazi prison, but he escaped and hid in Venice.
In 1945 he started working for a film company and began taking acting lessons. His film debut was in ''I Miserabili'' (1947).
He soon became a major international star, starring in ''Big Deal on Madonna Street''; and in Federico Fellini's ''La dolce vita'' with Anita Ekberg in 1960, where he played a disillusioned and self-loathing tabloid columnist who spends his days and nights exploring Rome's high society.
Mastroianni followed ''La dolce vita'' with another signature role, that of a film director who, amidst self-doubt and troubled love affairs, finds himself in a creative block while making a movie in Fellini's ''8½''.
Mastroianni was married to Italian actress Flora Carabella (1926 - 1999) from 1948 until his death. They had one child together, Barbara. His brother Ruggero Mastroianni (1929 - 1996) was a highly regarded film editor who not only edited a number of his brother's films, but appeared alongside Marcello in ''Scipione detto anche l'Africano'', a sword and sandals film released in 1971.
He also had a daughter, Chiara Mastroianni, with the actress Catherine Deneuve, his longtime lover during the seventies. Both Flora and Catherine were at his bedside when he died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 72, as was his partner at the time, author and filmmaker Anna Maria Tato.
According to Christopher Wiegand and Paul Duncan in their book 'Federico Fellini'', when Mastroianni died in 1996, the Trevi Fountain, which is so famously associated with him due to his role in Fellini's ''La dolce vita'', was symbolically turned off and draped in black as a tribute.
