Who was Maria Rosaria Omaggio: a life between cinema and theater and death from a long illness. Portrait
Actress Maria Rosaria Omaggio has died, she was 67 years old and had been ill for some time. Neapolitan, she lived in Rome.
She was born in Rome on January 11, 1957, from a family of Neapolitan origins. She spent fifty years of her career between cinema and theater, also dedicating herself to writing, one of her passions. For her social commitment, she was appointed Goodwill Ambassador Unicef.
The first success, he writes Dagospia, she had obtained it on tv in the early 70s with Pippo Baudo in “Canzonissima”, with many famous covers on “Playboy” and “Playmen” and then immediately divided herself, with shrewdness, between the Italian and Spanish genre cinema. We find her in “Roma a mano armata” by Umberto Lenzi with Maurizio Merli and Tomas Milian, in “Squadra antiscippo” by Bruno Corbucci with Tomas-Monnezza, in “La malavitaattacco, la polizia risposta” by Mario Caiano with Leonard Mann, in the sexy comedy “La segretaria privata di mio padre” with Renzo Montagnani, but also in a series of Spanish films by Vicente Escrivà that gave her enormous popularity in Spain, “La lozana andalusa”, “El virgo de Visantesa” and “Visantesa, estate quieta”.
In Spain, it continues Dagospia, Maria Rosaria found the right way to indulge in a bit of eroticism and to be able to act in a cinema that was a bit more cultured than ours, even if then we also find her in the sexy comedy “La moglie dell’amico è sempre più… buona” by Juan Bosch with Sydne Rome. In the curious, very cult “Culo e. Camicia” by Pasquale Festa Campanile a Renato Pozzetto in the gay version of Mastelloni’s companion finds himself choosing between her and Mastelloni.
