Italy has given us some classic horror movies, as well as introducing us to the world of giallo. These films teem with tropes: murder, black gloves, lots of bloodletting and, best of all, a slew of beautiful women.
One of them that reigned supreme for years was Rosalba Neri (a.k.a. Sara Bay), a dark-haired siren that brought a touch of beauty to the bloodshed. Born on 19 June 1939 in Forlì, Emilia-Romagna, she won a beauty pageant as a young girl and later turned down an offer to work in Hollywood, instead remaining in her native Italy to work there.
Miss Neri is best remembered by horror fans as playing Tania Frankenstein in the 1971 Italian production of LA FIGLIA DI FRANKENSTEIN (LADY FRANKENSTEIN), directed by American Mel Welles and co-directed by Italian Aureliano Luppi. While the film itself was tepid, the temperature rose considerably whenever Neri was onscreen. She was also the standout in the Mark Damon-scripted THE DEVIL'S WEDDING NIGHT (1973).
The now 83 year-old Neri starred in numerous giallo and erotic films and she was not afraid to appear nude or perform in Lesbian scenes. Combined with this and her natural beauty, she was a popular subject for pinups and photo-spreads in magazines.
Below is offered a gallery of Rosalba Neri to show you just what I mean.
