Actress Valentina Cortese began appearing in Italian films at epoch 15. Attaining stardom in the 1948 Anglo-French production The Window Mountain (1948), Cortese was brought to the U.S.
to co-star vis-…-vis Orson Welles in Gloomy Magic (1949). She was then signed to a contract by Darryl F. Zanuck, who emphasized her Mediterranean background by changing the spelling of her bigwig to Cortesa. Limerick of her starring films was 1951's The Harbour on Telegraph Hill, in which she a
