A Tribute to the Underrated Work of Daria Nicolodi

 2020 is a Year so rife with Bad News that you can still miss stuff!

For instance, back on November 26th, we lost a legend of Italian Cinema- Ms. Daria Nicolodi.

It is easy to see her for one thing, so let's address that first...

Depending on who you ask and when, she was either Married to Dario Argento or they were just a couple for a long time.

They are Italian, so it could be either.

That means that she was Asia Argento's Mother.

-------

There's more to her than that.  
She was also a pretty notable Writer...

While she only has 4 separate Credits (plus one for a Remake), the Films are

* The Black Cat
* Inferno
* Paganini Horror
* Suspiria

That's a good Resume!

------

On top of that, she has many, many Acting Credits in notable Films.
Many of them are in Argento Films, but there's more to it than that.

She appeared in Films by Mario Bava, Lamberto Bava, Michele Soavi and Luigi Cozzi.

One of the latter Credits is as the Narrator in Sinbad of the Seven Seas, so that's something fun for me!

***

For her integral role in so many Classic Films, she'll be missed by all of us out there that never even met her.

RIP Daria Nicolodi
