She has starred in European films during the 1960s and the 1970s, starring in Italian, French, and English.Born and raised in La Goulette, a neighbourhood of Tunis, Cardinale won the "Most Beautiful Italian Girl in Tunisia" contest in 1957, the prize being an excursion to Italy, which quickly led to film contracts, due above all to the involvement of Franco Cristaldi, who acted as her teacher for a number of years before marrying her. After her first appearance in a small role alongside the egyptian star Omar Sharif in Goha (1958), Cardinale became one of the most well-known actresses from Italy through performances in films like Rocco and His Brothers (1960), Girl with a Suitcase (1961), Cartouche (1962), The Leopard (1963), and Fellini's 8 1/2 (1963).From 1963, Cardinale appeared in The Pink Panther opposite David Niven.
