Actress Producer : Barbara Magnolfi

Making her entrance on the Italian silver screen in the mid 70s, Barbara officially debuted as the fetching Floriana in Sergio Martino's 1975 thriller, The Suspicious Death of a Minor. 1976 saw her in Duccio Tessari's "commedia all'italiana" romp La Madama and the romantic drama Ready for Anything, directed by Giorgio Stegani.

But the actress is most beloved for her standout performance in 1977 as the slinky, scene-stealing Olga, the nail-painting gossipy girl who takes great pleasure in harassing Jessica Harper about snakes in Dario Argento's classic film, Suspiria. Bringing a captivating element of electrically feminine power to the role, even Argento noted her beguiling presence, calling her 'La Mia Streghina' (my little witch). With an epic ensemble cast featuring classic Hollywood legends such as Joan Bennett and Alida Valli, and cited often as one of the greatest horror films of all time, Barbara's cinematic legacy was sealed through her indelible contributions to this genre-defying film.
