Laura Antonac

Laura Antonelli has lived most of her life in the bright spotlight and surrounded by enthusiastic fans. Her career was successful, but neither talent nor appearance brought the actress personal happiness. A fatal medical error put an end to her creative biography and became the reason that the star of erotic cinema died in loneliness, poverty and oblivion.

Laura Antonac (this is the real name of the actress) was born on November 28, 1941 in the city of Pola on the Istrian peninsula, which at that time was Italian (today the city belongs to Croatia and is called Pula). The girl's parents were teachers, and Laura also planned to follow in their footsteps. During her childhood, the family managed to change several places of residence - Venice, Genoa, Naples. In the latter city, she entered a local university to become a physical education teacher.

After graduating from the institute, Laura managed to work in her specialty at the art lyceum in Rome, but gave up teaching immediately after she received the first invitation to shoot - it was a Carosello advertising show ("Carousel"). The producers noticed the beautiful girl, and her career quickly took off. Laura's film debut took place in 1965. Director Luigi Petrini invited her to take part in the filming of the film "Sixteen". Immediately after joining the cinema, she changed her name Antonac to Antonelli.

4 years later, Laura first played the role of an erotic plan - Wanda in "Venus in Furs". The film was directed by Massimo Dallamano based on the novel by the Austrian writer Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. After his success, Laura decided to remain in the role of a seductive beauty and in the 1980s starred in several erotic films at once.

The comedy "Cunning", released in 1973, where Antonelli played a housekeeper who had an affair with an elderly widower and his sons, won 3 prestigious Italian film awards - Grollo d'Oro, David di Donatello and Nastro d'argento.

After 2 years, she appeared in the film "Divine Creation" with Marcello Mastroianni and Michele Placido. The next tape with her participation "God, how low I have fallen!" received a Golden Globe. In it, Laura got the role of Eugenia, a noble lady who is cheating on her husband with a young chauffeur.

Subsequent roles of Antonelli were also erotic: Simone in the film of the same name by Patrick Longshams, the 9-episode film "Crazy Sex", where she played 8 different roles. Laura soon became one of the most sought-after Italian actresses.

In her youth, the girl was not distinguished by catchy beauty, but the correct facial features and harmonious physique looked great in the frame, and her grace and charming smile made her unusually sexy. At the same time, Laura had a bright temperament, and the directors of love tapes appreciated her ability to portray genuine passion in the frame.

By 1980, the woman was fully developed as a talented dramatic actress. The critics call her most powerful and successful films “Innocent” by Luchino Visconti, melodrama “Wife-Lover” by Marco Viccario and psychological drama “Passion for Love” by Ettore Scola. In total, Antonelli's filmography is 47 paintings.

In 1991, the movie star got into serious trouble. During a search of her house in Cerveteri, 36 grams of cocaine were found. Laura was accused of organizing drug trafficking and was put under house arrest, later the court sentenced her to 3.5 years in prison. The actress's lawyers have repeatedly tried to appeal against him, but they succeeded only 9 years later, when Italian law reduced the punishment for possession of narcotic substances.

In the same year, there was a tragic incident that finally put an end to the career of an actress. The producers of Obsession have demanded that Laura refresh her appearance with collagen injections. The procedure was unsuccessful and disfigured the face of the famous beauty: in the photo before and after it can be seen that her features were distorted almost beyond recognition.

Antonelli filed a lawsuit against the clinic, but the proceedings dragged on. The first time she was denied compensation, and only 13 years later, she was able to achieve justice. However, compensation of € 108 thousand could no longer console Laura: she was very upset about what had happened and ended up in a psychiatric clinic. After undergoing a course of treatment, the woman settled in a house in the town of Ladispoli and until the end of her life she did not communicate with anyone, did not give interviews and did not attend social events.

The luxurious life of the popular actress is left behind. She began to need money: her entire income was a pension of € 510, and she even had to accept charity help - local volunteers delivered spaghetti, butter and cans of canned vegetables to her home.

Laura has no savings left from previous years. When asked where all the luxurious houses and decorations had gone, she replied that people took advantage of her kindness and took everything away.

Antonelli was no longer interested in what was happening in the world and did not turn on the TV. In recent years, she became very religious and spent whole days in prayer, and the only place she rarely visited was the local church.

The first husband of the actress was the book publisher Enrico Piacentini. Their family life proceeded peacefully until 1971, when Laura met Jean-Paul Belmondo on the set of the film "Remarried". The passion between them flared up instantly. Antonelli immediately separated from her husband and bought an apartment in Rome to live there with a new lover.

The lovers lived in 2 countries - Italy and France. Belmondo repeatedly offered Laura to marry him, but although she ruined her marriage for him, she did not strive for the second time - her freedom was too dear to the actress.

The couple's relationship was stormy - Laura constantly made scenes of jealousy and rolled up scandals. In the end, the actor was tired of the stormy Italian temperament of his beloved, and after a 7-year romance, he left her.

Antonelli was very upset by the breakup - it was at this time that drugs and alcohol appeared in her life. She was desperately trying to get her partner back, but Belmondo already had another woman - 19-year-old fashion model Maria Carlos Sotomayor. Jean-Paul flatly turned out to return, but he did not finally break ties with his ex-girlfriend and for many years after that he helped Laura, including with money.

After parting, the actress was never able to establish her personal life and never married again. She had no children.

On June 22, 2015, the housekeeper found Laura Antonelli unconscious. She called the doctors, but they were powerless.

The actress was 73 years old, the cause of death was a heart attack.
