Virna Lisi
This Italian-born actress who had blonde hair, blue eyes and undeniable beauty was reportedly brought in by Hollywood producers as a “new Marilyn Monroe”. Although she may not have had the same success as the iconic sex symbol, she was quite popular and famous in her own right.
Virna Lisi would go on to make her Hollywood debut in 1965 along with Jack Lemmon in How to Murder Your Wife.
