(ANSA) - ROME, APR 28 - Italian actress Sandra Milo will receive this year's David di Donatello career achievement award, Italy's Oscar, organisers said Wednesday.
    Milo, 88, won a Silver Ribbon best supporting actress award from Italian journalists for her roles in Federico Fellini's 8½ and Juliet of the Spirits.
    "Who but Sandra Milo, the fluffy and dizzy blonde, you might say, loved by Fellini who immortalised her as an erotic dream in 8½ and Juliet of the Spirits?," said Italian Cinema Academy President Pietra Detassis.
    Milo, A Tunis-born actress whose real name was Salvatrice Elena Greco, got her break with "women's director Antonio Pietrangeli," Detassis noted.
    Detassi recalled that despite never getting a David during her career, Milo worked for other great directors including Roberto Rossellini, Gabriele Salvatores, Gabriele Muccino, Pupi Avati, Jean Renoir and Claude Sautet.
    "Milo is the woman that the dreams of men have imagined," said Detassis.
    "The Italian Film Academy is honoured to award her the career David". (ANSA).
