Eufemia "Femi" Benussi (born 4 March 1945) is an Italian film actress. She appeared in 82 films between 1965 and 1983.

She was born in Rovigno, Italy (now Rovinj, Croatia). She debuted on stage at the Teatro del Popolo of Fiume, then she moved in Rome and made her film debut at 19 in Il boia scarlatto, with the pseudonym Femy Martin. Benussi was mainly active in genre films, and in the seventies she became a star of the commedia sexy all'italiana subgenre.

Biography

Née dans la région de l'Istrie, Femi Benussi fréquente le théâtre de la ville de Rijeka, alors sous gouvernance yougoslave. Elle part ensuite en Italie et s'installe à Rome pour devenir actrice. En 1965, le réalisateur Massimo Pupillo la remarque lors d'un casting et lui offre sa première apparition au cinéma, un rôle secondaire dans le film d'horreur Vierges pour le bourreau (Il boia scarlatto).

En 1966, Pier Paolo Pasolini lui offre un rôle de premier plan dans la comédie dramatique Des oiseaux, petits et gros (Uccellacci e uccellini), aux côtés du confirmé Totò et du débutant Ninetto Davoli. À la suite du succès du film, elle obtient plusieurs propositions pour poursuivre sa carrière dans le milieu du cinéma et se spécialise dans la comédie à l'italienne, notamment érotique. Elle apparaît également dans des westerns spaghettis, des giallos et des films d'horreurs et tourne quelques productions étrangères dans le même ton. Elle pose également pour les magazines Ciné-Revue et Playboy et joue quelques pièces de théâtre en Italie.

Le désintérêt du public pour les comédies érotiques et son âge conduise sa carrière au déclin. Contrairement à l'actrice Marina Hedman, elle refuse de prendre le virage d'une carrière d'actrice pornographique et quitte le monde du cinéma par la petite porte au début des années 1980.
