Introduction

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

Career

Born in Rome as Bruna Falchi, Ruffo failed to star the main roles in Cielo sulla palude by Augusto Genina and Tomorrow Is Another Day by Léonide Moguy for the opposition of her family, then she eventually debuted in 1951 in Gli amanti di Ravello by Francesco De Robertis.

She was almost entirely active in peplum and adventure films; among the exceptions, the role of the sensible Sandra Rubini in Federico Fellini's I Vitelloni.

She retired from acting in the late 1960s.

Ruffo also starred in a number of fotoromanzi, being usually credited with her real name or with the stage name Ingrid Swenson.
