Moira Orfei

Moira Orfei was born on Dec 21, 1931 in Italy. Moira Orfei's big-screen debut came with Under Ten Flags directed by Duilio Coletti in 1960. Moira Orfei is known for Scent of a Woman directed by Dino Risi, Vittorio Gassman stars as Il capitano Fausto Consolo and Alessandro Momo as Giovanni Bertazzi, aka Ciccio. The upcoming new movie Moira Orfei plays is Scent of a Woman which will be released on Dec 20, 1974.

Her parents were Riccardo Orfei - the clown Bigolon - and Violetta Arata - a Circus star, so Miranda Orfei's entire life was lived in a circus. A simple, yet charismatic girl, full of energy, she started working in one herself: horse rider, trapeze artist, and acrobat. Since 1962, she started her own circus, and her popularity remains unabated to the present date (2002), in part helped by her numerous appearances on television shows. After a car accident prevented her from further acrobacies and arena shows with pigeos, horses and elephants, she kept her presence with her faithful public.
