Pier Angeli height - How tall is Pier Angeli?

Shes' portrayed by Alessandra Mastronardi in Life (2015).

In a 1989 television interview with Skip E. Lowe, actor John Ericson and his wife, actress Karen Ericson, claimed that Pier Angeli did not commit suicide. They said that her twin sister, actress Marisa Pavan, told them Pier had gotten sick. A doctor came to the house and gave her medication that she had a negative reaction to; her tongue swelled and she choked to death. The reaction, however, was delayed, so she died after the doctor had left her house. The rumors quickly spread that she had taken her own life.

She had divorced her second husband (Armando Trovajoli) in 1969 and made her final appearance on the screen in 1971 in the low-budget sci-fi opus Octaman (1971).

After a handful of films between 1966 and 1970, Pier realized her dreams of super-stardom were not to be.

After the Italian production of Shadow of Evil (1964) she returned in the hit European-American co-production Battle of the Bulge (1965).

Gave birth to her second child (by second husband Armando Trovajoli), Howard Andrew Rugantino, on 8 January 1963 .

In 1962 Pier played Ildith in Sodom and Gomorrah (1962) and later that year played in a French production entitled White Slave Ship (1961).

Then once again 1961 saw no appearances.

When shooting a central scene with Michael Craig in The Angry Silence (1960), she was so immersed into her character that she left the script and started to shout in Italian. The scene was so impressive that it remained in the film.

After The Vintage (1957), Merry Andrew (1958) and SOS Pacific (1959), she made three more films in 1960.

She played Ynez in Port Afrique (1956) later that year and then another drought ensued.

No film offers came in 1955, but in 1956 Pier landed the role of Norma Graziano (wife of fighter Rocky Graziano) in Somebody Up There Likes Me (1956) opposite Paul Newman. The film was well received at the box office and she had hopes that things were going to pick up again.

After the Italian Mam'zelle Nitouche (1954) she caught the eyes of Hollywood moguls, who cast her in Flame and the Flesh (1954) and The Silver Chalice (1954). Now she divided her time between Italy and the US making movies.

She married Vic Damone in 1954, a union that lasted only four years and produced one son.

However, she again hit a drought with only one film in 1952 and two in 1953. The next year things began to pick up, however, with Hollywood beckoning.

Again it was a very small role, and she was not seen on the screen again until 1951.

When she did return it was in the film The Light Touch (1951) as Anna Vasarri.

Later that year she won the title role in Teresa (1951).

The following year she played in another Italian production, Tomorrow Is Too Late (1950).

Between 1949 and 1951 she appeared in stage productions and found work in menial jobs.

Her first role was an uncredited part in 1948's The Million Dollar Nickel (1952), an Italian production. Pier was 16 at the time and it was to be the first of many roles for this beautiful woman. The film was largely forgettable but it was a start.

Anna Maria Pierangeli was born June 19, 1932, in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy. Anna and her twin sister, Marisa Pavan, both had their eyes on becoming film stars, since that was one of the big Italian pastimes. Anna adopted her surname and split it in half, and it was as Pier Angeli that she would find fame.
