Marcello Vincenzo Domenico Mastroianni, Knight Grand Cross (Italian pronunciation: [marˈtʃɛllo mastroˈjanni]; 28 September 1924 – 19 December 1996) was an Italian film actor. His prominent films include La Dolce Vita; 8½; La Notte; Divorce, Italian Style; A Special Day; Stay As You Are; City of Women; and Dark Eyes. His honours included British Film Academy Awards, Best Actor awards at the Cannes Film Festival and two Golden Globe Awards.
Background
Mastroianni was born in Fontana Liri, a small village in the Apennines in the province of Frosinone, Lazio, and grew up in Turin and Rome. He was the son of Ida (née Irolle) and Ottone Mastroianni, who ran a carpentry shop,[1] and the nephew of the Italian sculptor Umberto Mastroianni (1910–1998). During World War II, after the division into Axis and Allied Italy, he was interned in a loosely guarded German prison camp, from which he escaped to hide in Venice. His brother Ruggero Mastroianni (1929–1996) was a highly regarded film editor who not only edited a number of his brother's films, but appeared alongside Marcello in Scipione detto anche l'Africano, a spoof of the once popular peplum/sword and sandal film genre released in 1971.
Career
Mastroianni's first screen appearance was as an extra in the 1939 film Marionette at age 14. His first credited acting roles were in 1950. He soon became a major international celebrity, starring in Big Deal on Madonna Street (1958); and in Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita (1960) with Anita Ekberg, where he played a disillusioned and self-loathing tabloid columnist who spends his days and nights exploring Rome's high society. Mastroianni followed La Dolce Vita with another signature role, that of a film director who, amidst self-doubt and troubled love affairs, finds himself in a creative block while making a movie in Fellini's 8½ (1963). His prominent films include La Notte (1961) with Jeanne Moreau; Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (1963), Marriage Italian-Style (1964), A Special Day (1977) and Ready to Wear (1994) with Sophia Loren; The 10th Victim (1965) with Ursula Andress; A Place for Lovers (1968) with Faye Dunaway; It Only Happens to Others (1971) and La cagna (1972) with Catherine Deneuve; Stay As You Are (1978) with Nastassja Kinski; City of Women (1980); and Dark Eyes.
Mastroianni, Dean Stockwell and Jack Lemmon are the only actors to have been twice awarded the Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival. Mastroianni won it in 1970 for Dramma della gelosia - tutti i particolari in cronaca and in 1987 for Dark Eyes.
Personal life
Mastroianni married Italian actress Flora Carabella in 1950. They separated in the 1960s but never divorced and remained legally married until his death. They had one daughter together, Barbara. After the separation, he cohabited with American actress Faye Dunaway, his co-star in A Place for Lovers (1968), for two years.
From 1971 to 1975, Mastroianni lived with French actress Catherine Deneuve. They starred in four films together and were considered Europe's golden couple.[2] The relationship produced one daughter, Chiara Mastroianni.
Mastroianni had a longstanding relationship with author and filmmaker Anna Maria Tatò; they lived together for 20 years, from 1976 until his death. Both of his daughters, as well as Deneuve and Tato, were at his bedside when he died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 72 on December 19, 1996.[3][4] The Trevi Fountain in Rome, associated with his role in Fellini's La Dolce Vita, was symbolically turned off and draped in black as a tribute.[4][5] In 1997, Tato made the documentary about him titled Marcello Mastroianni: I Remember.
