Italian film actress Claudia Cardinale appeared in some of the most acclaimed European films of the 1960s and in numerous Hollywood movies alongside legends including David Niven, Rock Hudson and Henry Fonda. Dubbed ‘The Next Love Goddess’ by Esquire magazine in 1961, Cardinale also had an eye for beautiful, chic and sensual clothes.
