Leonora Ruffo (13 January 1935 - 25 May 2007) was an Italian film actress.

Biography

Son rôle dans Les Vitelloni de Federico Fellini (1953) l'a rendue célèbre : au début du film, lors d'un concours de beauté dans une petite station balnéaire romagnole, la belle Sandra, Miss Siren 1953 s'évanouit, et sa grossesse hors mariage ainsi rendue publique lance l'intrigue. Dans Il vedovo de Dino Risi (1959), elle joue Gioia, l'amante d'un homme d'affaires veule sans envergure (Alberto Sordi) , et incarne ici aussi une belle jeune femme stable et aimante, victime du machisme ambiant.
