The Bitter Tears of Isa Miranda. Born on this day: durable Italian screen diva Isa Miranda (née Ines Isabella Sampietro, 5 July 1905 – 8 July 1982). In the 1930s she worked with titans of European art cinema like Max Ophüls (La Signora di tutti (Everybody's Woman) (1934)). Later in the decade Miranda was fleetingly (and unsuccessfully) imported to Hollywood as a would-be rival to Marlene Dietrich. Her notable later films include Summertime (1955), Do You Know This Voice? (1963) and Liliana Cavani's notorious Il portiere di notte (The Night Porter (1974). She also diversified into television, with a wild guest appearance on a 1967 episode of The Avengers. But I have a soft spot for the bizarre low budget 1964 Euro-exploitation flick Dog Eat Dog starring Jayne Mansfield and Cameron Mitchell. Miranda must have wondered where the hell her career went wrong!
