Claudia Cardinale, l’égérie du cinéma italien, est morte à l’âge de 87 ans

Depuis ses débuts au cinéma, à l’âge de 14 ans, elle avait enchaîné les rôles de femmes du peuple, de bourgeoises ou de poseuses de bombes sans jamais se départir de sa pudeur. Elle est morte à l’âge de 87 ans à Nemours, mardi 23 septembre, a annoncé son agent à l’Agence France-Presse.
