It makes me sad to hear of the passing today of Claudia Cardinale, one of the most beautiful women in the history of cinema. She’s always been special to me because she co-starred with Charles Bronson in Sergio Leone’s ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST (1968). I also loved her in THE PROFESSIONALS with Lee Marvin (1966). Thanks Claudia for sharing your beauty and your talents with all of us. In your honor, I share this clip from one of the great western masterpieces, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST!

9/23/25 Ms Claudia was one of my favorite actresses & as a lottle girl I strived to look just like her or Sophia Loren or Diana Ross! . She was also in the original Pink Panther movie from 1963 & kept a straight face during all of Peter Sellers’ crazy antics. Riposa in pace, bella signora. ❤️

Thanks for sharing this…we are losing some of the legends in film – people I barely got to know growing up, but can now appreciate because of the ability to stream older or lesser known films…
