Italian film star Virna Lisi
died Thursday at age 78, sources said. Lisi won numerous awards,
including at Cannes film festival, and was twice given the David
di Donatello award for her work. Born in Ancona, Lisi appeared
in both Italian and Hollywood films, as producers in the United
States considered the blue-eyed, blonde Lisi to be similar to
famed Marilyn Monroe, according to biographers.
