Olga Villi

Olga Villi (20 January 1922 – 12 August 1989), was an Italian model and actress.

Life and career Born in Suzzara, Mantua as Olga Villani, Villi began to work, only twelve years old, as a saleswoman and seamstress at the Milanese fashion house Biki.

A few years later her employer hired her as a model; noted by Macario, she was hired by him in 1942 for the rivista-operetta Il grillo al castello, where she had to act, sing and dance. After having announced her retirement in 1972, she came back on stage in 1984. Villi died after a long illness in Rapallo, where she lived for about thirty years.
