Marisa Pavan, the acclaimed Italian actress and Oscar nominee renowned for her role in the 1955 drama ‘The Rose Tattoo,’ has peacefully passed away at the age of 91. The sad news was confirmed by Margaux Soumoy, the author of Pavan’s 2021 biography, who revealed that the actress died in her sleep at her home in Gassin, France, near Saint-Tropez.

Pavan, the twin sister of the late Pier Angeli, was a versatile talent, leaving an indelible mark on the film industry with her notable performances.

Both sisters found success in the film industry, with Pavan’s discovery leading to her Hollywood debut in John Ford’s ‘What Price Glory’ (1952).
