According to media reports, Italy’s music and TV star Raffaella Carrà has died. She had been sick for some time.
The Italian actor and music icon Raffaella Carrà (1943-2021) has died at the age of 78. She had been sick for some time, on Monday (July 5th).
Carrà’s death was confirmed by her long-time partner, the choreographer Sergio Iapino. He told the media that the entertainer has “left us. She is now in a better world where her humanity, her distinctive smile and her extraordinary talent will shine forever”.
In 1965 she was seen on the big screen alongside Frank Sinatra
Carrà was a true legend of the entertainment industry in Italy. The all-rounder from Bologna, who achieved fame as a singer, actress, dancer and presenter, played alongside US star Frank Sinatra (1915-1998) in the film “Colonel von Ryan’s Express” in 1965 – at that time under the stage name Raffaella Pelloni. Carrà later achieved cult status on Spanish and Italian television and became an icon of the gay scene.
