Biography
Italian actress Delia Boccardo was what publicity people usually dub an "international film actress." This is a catch-all term that usually translates to "she speaks seductively in an accent and looks terrific in low-cut gowns." Her first English-speaking appearance was as leading lady in
Inspector Clouseau (1968) in which
Alan Arkin briefly spelled
Peter Sellers as the bumbling French detective. Additional European-filmed appearances by Boccacio include
The Adventurers (1974) and
Snow Job (1979). In the early 1980s, Delia Boccardo began to receive a few intriguing parts: she was Athena in the 1983
Hercules, starring
Lou Ferrigno, while in the Russian/Italian coproduction
Nostalgia (1983), she was the neglected wife of an inveterate romantic who ends up setting himself afire! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
