Producer, actress, protagonist of the cinema and costume of the seventies thanks to the “sexy comedies” of which she has long been the undisputed emblem, Edwige Fenech75 years old, returns to TV in a role you don’t expect: she will be the “dancer for a night” on the Saturday 2 November episode of Dancing with the Stars, the Rai 1 prime time show hosted by Milly Carlucci. Meanwhile, the competition between the competitors is increasingly fierce and winning it requires a lot of training and determination: last Saturday the episode was won by the couple Anna Lou Castoldi and Nikita Perotti who got 30 bonus points.
Edwige Fenech, a diva in Ballando
Edwige Fenech will take to the track, accompanied by Simone Iannuzzito perform a waltz to the tune of Life in pink. And to think that her beginnings, as a child, were right on tiptoe, as she said in an interview with Repubblica: “I was born in Algeria, I lived through the war and the curfew. I danced in the city’s opera house, I started ballet at five years old and at nine years old they took me into the dance troupe, also because I was already almost as I am now, very tall for my age. I remember my dad, he had a pass so he could pick me up because we finished ballet rehearsals at eleven in the evening. I remember we were walking through a completely empty city. And it was just me, dad, in the car, because there was a curfew. This is the first image that comes to me in memory of my city and then of my childhood, and then of the beautiful times on these magnificent endless beaches of Algeria where we took our holidays.”
A very long career as an actress – her last film, in 2023, The fourteenth Sunday of ordinary timedirected by Pupi Avati – and a career as a producer of successful films, such as Ferdinand and Carolina Of Lina Wertmüller (1999), The Merchant of Venice Of Michael Radford (2004), Gorbachev Of Stefano Incerti (2010) to name just a few. A dedicated book, Il corpo dei Settanta, to tell about his phenomenon, a cult for a generation of men: “They still stop me today – he told Repubblica – and sometimes it happened that it was too much, but it’s normal that if you reach success, then you have to expect this type of demonstration. People love you, they want to get closer to you.”
