'Clara Calamai' (Prato, September 7 1909 - Rimini, September 21 1998) was an Italian actress.
Her debut was in 1938 with Pietro Micca, directed by Aldo Vergano.
In a very short scene of La cena delle beffe Calamai shows her breasts. In no Italian movie had ever been seen such a thing before. It was a sensation for Italian audiences and many people saw the movie many times only for that scene. The film was an adaptation of a Sem Benelli's work, directed by Alessandro Blasetti in 1941.
But her most remembered film was Luchino Visconti's Ossessione .
Anna Magnani could not make L'adultera (1946, but Duilio Coletti) and she won the Nastro d'Argento for it.
She worked again with Luchino Visconti in Le notti bianche , as a prostitute (1957) and Le streghe in (1967).
After years of retirement, she came back to screen in 1975 with classic horror film Deep Red directed by Dario Argento.
Married to the explorer, documentary and film maker Leonardo Bonzi, she got a divorce for living with Captain of Aviation Valerio Andreoli.
