Claudia Cardinale
Italian-Tunisian beauty Claudia Cardinale ended up winning the “Most Beautiful Italian Girl in Tunisia” contest. Her prize was the opportunity to go to Italy. However, her parents knew Sicilian, which was not the same as Italian. Despite this, she landed many acting and modeling gigs in the past. They had to dub her voice in the early days because she had a raspy voice and a French accent. She is passionate about women’s rights. In 2000, she was chosen to be a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador.
