Marcello Mastroianni
Marcello Vincenzo Domenico Mastroianni (28 September 1924 – 19 December 1996) was an Italian film actor.
Mastroianni was born in Fontana Liri, a small village in the Apennines, 
the son of Ida (née Irolle) and Ottone Mastroianni, who ran a carpentry shop. Mastroianni grew up in Turin and Rome. During World War II, he was interned in a Nazi prison, but he escaped and hid in Venice. Mastroianni was married to Italian actress Flora Carabella (1926 – 1999) from 1948 until his death. They had one child together, Barbara. His brother Ruggero Mastroianni (1929 – 1996) was a highly regarded film editor who not only edited a number of his brother’s films, but appeared 
alongside Marcello in Scipione detto anche l’Africano, a sword and sandals film released in 1971.
Mastroianni had a daughter, Chiara Mastroianni, with the actress Catherine Deneuve, his longtime lover during the seventies. Both Flora and Catherine were at his bedside when he died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 72, as was his partner at the time, author and filmmaker Anna Maria Tatò.
