  • Delia Scala, born 25 September 1929 - died 15 January 2004, was an Italian ballerina and actress. Born Odette Bedogni in Bracciano, Lazio, Italy, as a young girl the family moved to Milan where she studied ballet at "La Scala" Ballet School for seven years. She performed in numerous ballets until World War II, after which she began appearing in motion pictures using the stage name, Delia Scala. In 1956, she began a career in television, an industry that at the time in Italy was still in its infancy. She starred in several variety shows during the 50s and 60s, and became one of her country's most beloved TV showgirls. During the mid 1950s she gained much publicity for her relationship with Formula One racecar driver Eugenio Castellotti. However, he died in 1957 when his Ferrari crashed while attempting a speed record at the Modena racetrack. She ultimately married Piero Giannotti, but he was killed in a bicycle mishap. Although Scala achieved great fame, life was not easy and she was diagnosed with breast cancer, undergoing a radical mastectomy. After several years battling her cancer, Delia Scala died in 2004 in Livorno, Tuscany. With the news of her passing, Italian President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi called her a "model of vivaciousness and rigorous professionalism" and said she ranked among "the most beloved and popular artists in the history of Italian entertainment."
  • Delia Scala war eine italienische Tänzerin und Schauspielerin. Scala nahm schon seit dem Kindesalter Ballettunterricht an der Mailänder Teatro alla Scala, was nach Abschluss auch in ihrem Künstlernamen zum Ausdruck kommt. Nach verschiedenen Auftritten in Musicals und musikalischen Komödien ging sie zum jungen italienischen Fernsehen, wo sie ab 1956 bis weit ins nächste Jahrzehnt viele Shows bestritt. Bis dahin war sie in über 30 Filmen, meist Komödien und Revuefilme, vor die Kamera getreten. Späten Erfolg brachte die TV-Miniserie Casa Cecilia(1982/83). Scala starb „nach einer ernsthaften Krankheit“ im Alter von 74 Jahren. Scala nahm auch diverse Platten auf.
