Biography

[edit]

Born in Milan, Ubaldi graduated from the drama school of the Piccolo Teatro, and made her professional stage debut in 1960, in the Giorgio Prosperi's drama La congiura directed by Luigi Squarzina.[1] In 1961, she starred in the play Eva a Go Go dalla parte di lui alongside Fabrizio De André; in 1966, she eventually was the first to record De André's song "La ballata dell’amore cieco".[1][2] In 1962, she was directed by Roberto Rossellini in the Beniamino Joppolo's drama I carabinieri, which was represented at the Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto.[1][3] The same year, she made her film debut in Giorgio Simonelli's Il medico delle donne.[4]

Starting from the 1970s, Ubaldi was mainly devoted to voice dubbing;[1] for her work in this field she received various awards, notably a Nastro d'Argento for her dubbing of Gena Rowlands in Woody Allen's Another Woman,[5] and the 2012 Leggio d'oro [it] Award as best dubber of the year.[6] She also dubbed many actresses such as Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Anne Bancroft, Vanessa Redgrave and Jeanne Moreau.[7]

Ubaldi was also very active on television, appearing in numerous TV-series, notably Nero Wolfe, Incantesimo, Elisa di Rivombrosa, I Cesaroni and Suburra: Blood on Rome.[1][4] Her last appearance was in 2023, in Call My Agent - Italia, the Italian version of Call My Agent!.[4]

Personal life and death

[edit]

Between 1960 and 1967, Ubaldi was married to actor Gastone Moschin, and the two had a daughter, Emanuela, also an actress.[4] The trio founded and served as teachers in the drama school Mumos, established in 2003 and closed in 2013.[4] Beyond her showbusiness activities, she ran a chihuahua breeding farm.[4]

Ubaldi died in Narni on 21 October 2023, at the age of 85.[4]
