Because Cardinale was not interested in leaving Europe for extended periods of time, she never made a real attempt to break into the American market.

Her most well-known American performance came as prostitute Jill McBain in Sergio Leone's ''Once Upon A Time in the West'' (1968) in which she starred opposite Geoffrey Robards, Charles Bronson, and Henry Fonda.

Her performance in Visconti's ''Vaghe stelle dell'Orsa'' (known as ''Sandra'' in the United States and ''Of A Thousand Delights'', 1965) is regarded as mesmerizing, playing a Holocaust survivor with an incestuous relationship with her brother.

Claudia Cardinale (born April 15, 1938) is an Italian actress born in Tunis, Tunisia. Some of the most notable films she has appeared in include 8½ (1963) and Once Upon a Time in the West (1968). The majority of Cardinale's films have been either of Italian or French origin.
Early life
Claudia Cardinale was born Claude Joséphine Rose Cardinale. Her mother, Yolande Greco, was born in Tunisia to Sicilian emigrants from Trapani. Her father was an Italian railway worker, born in Gela. In Tunisia, her native language was French, so she had to learn Italian once she moved to Italy to pursue her career. She did not speak Italian well (only the Sicilian language learned from her parents, like many Italian Tunisians) until the age of sixteen.[1]
Career
In 1957, Cardinale won the "Most Beautiful Italian Girl in Tunisia" contest of the Italian embassy, which brought her to the traditional Venice Film Festival. Her feature film debut was Goha (1957), a French-Tunisian production. After attending the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia of Rome for two months, she signed a 7-year contract with the Vides studios. In 1958, she had a role in the major international success I soliti ignoti. Her early career was largely managed by producer Franco Cristaldi, a studio producer to whom Cardinale was married to from 1966 until 1975.
Throughout the 1960s, she appeared in some of the best Italian and European films including Luchino Visconti's Il Gattopardo (The Leopard, 1963) and Rocco e i suoi fratelli (1960), Philippe de Broca's Cartouche (1963), Federico Fellini's 8½ (1963), and Sergio Leone's epic Once Upon a Time in the West (1968). In her early Italian films, her voice was dubbed by someone else because her rather deep voice contrasted with her frail and youthful appearance. Not until 8½ was she allowed to dub her own dialogue.[2]
Because Cardinale was not interested in leaving Europe for extended periods of time, she never made a real attempt to break into the American market. The list of her Hollywood films includes The Pink Panther (1963), in which she was dubbed by an American actress; Circus World (1964) starring opposite John Wayne and Rita Hayworth; Blindfold (1965); and The Professionals (1966), in which she played opposite Lee Marvin and Burt Lancaster. Her most well-known American performance came as prostitute Jill McBain in Sergio Leone's Once Upon A Time in the West (1968) in which she starred opposite Geoffrey Robards, Charles Bronson, and Henry Fonda. The film was met with initial disdain upon release, but has widely been regarded as Leone's greatest work and Cardinale's most memorable American role. She would go on to star in mostly European work after its filming.
A photograph of Cardinale was featured in the original gatefold artwork to Bob Dylan's album Blonde on Blonde in 1966. Because it was used without Cardinale's permission, the photo was removed from the cover art in later pressings.[3][4]
Her performance in Visconti's Vaghe stelle dell'Orsa (known as Sandra in the United States and Of A Thousand Delights, 1965) is regarded as mesmerizing, playing a Holocaust survivor with an incestuous relationship with her brother. In Comencini's La storia (from Elsa Morante's novel), in which Cardinale plays a widow raising a son during World War II, she gave another well-received performance. Other memorable performances include Valerio Zurlini's Girl with a Suitcase and Mauro Bolognini's Libera.
