Lilli Carati is dead
The actress from Varese has died at the age of 58, after a long illness.
She was well-known to the general public as a result of the great number
of films she took part in, in the 1970s and 1980s, thanks to which she
was regarded a sexy icon.

Caravati, the actress from Varese who was known to the public by her
stage name Lilli Carati, died yesterday at the age of 58, after a long
illness. She was known, together with Gloria Guida, as one of the sex
symbols of the 1970s, thanks to her appearance in a great number of
Italian-style sex comedies. Lilli Carati's career was one of ups and
downs, and she had had a tormented private life.
The daughter of shopkeepers from Varese, Ileana started her career in
1974, after coming second in the Miss Italy competition. She was
immediately signed up by Franco Cristaldi, of the production company
Vides Cinematografica, through which she got her first parts in
detective and exploitation films. In 1978 she co-starred with Gloria
Guida, in the film "Avere vent'anni", directed by Ferdinando Di Leo. The
film underwent all types of censorship because of the numerous scenes of
explicit violence. She took part in the film "Il corpo della ragassa"
(directed by Pasquale Festa Campanile), which was based on the novel by
Gianni Brera, and which also starred Enrico Maria Salerno and Renzo
Montagnini. In 1981, after a car accident, in which she almost died,
Lilli's career suffered a sudden halt because of rehabilitation, and it
was only after four years that she returned to the big screen, with a
series of erotic, soft porn and porn films. In the meantime, she got
caught up in drugs, as she later admitted, and she ended up making porn
films to pay for them.
In 1988 she was arrested near Luino with heroin on her, and her two
attempts to commit suicide were the lowest points in her private life.
It was only in 1990 that Ileana began finally to shake off her drug
habit. In 2008, after a long silence, she began appearing in public
again, in a number of TV programmes. In 2012, after returning to the set
for a new film, a brain tumour forced her to retire once more. The
tumour eventually led to her premature death yesterday.
