Dorian Gray (born Maria Luisa Mangini; 2 February 1931 – 15 February 2011) was an Italian actress.

Biography

Gray made her stage debut in 1950. After five years she left the world of the theater and devoted herself to cinema.

Dorian Gray in Totò, Peppino e la... malafemmina (1956)

The role she played most often in films was that of a seductive sexual character. She played the titular "bad girl" in Totò, Peppino e la... malafemmina. She also appeared in Michelangelo Antonioni's Il grido. In 1957, she took part in Nights of Cabiria by Federico Fellini.

Death

On February 15, 2011, Gray committed suicide by gunshot at her home in Torcegno. She was 80 years old; some media, however, reported her age as 75,[1] since she herself claimed to have been born in 1936.[2]
