Biography

Erika Blanc (born Enrica Bianchi Colombatto, 23 July 1942, Gargnano, province of Brescia, Italy) is an Italian actress. She began her career in 1964 with an uncredited role in Il disco volante by Tinto Brass (Alberto Sordi, Silvana Mangano), then became a fixture of Italian genre cinema — spy thrillers, spaghetti westerns, and Euro-horror — appearing in Kill, Baby, Kill (1966) and The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave (1971). Her most iconic role was the first fictional Emmanuelle in Io, Emmanuelle (1969). She was married to director Bruno Gaburro (1962–1977) and is the mother of actress Barbara Blanc. A career renaissance came with Ferzan Özpetek: Le fate ignoranti (2001) and Cuore sacro (2005), for which she won the Flaiano Film Festival Best Supporting Actress and received a David di Donatello nomination. Her filmography includes: Kill, Baby, Kill (1966) (Edwige Fenech, George Eastman); Io, Emmanuelle (1969) (Marie Laforêt, Giacomo Rossi Stuart); The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave (1971) (Carole André, Paul Naschy); The Devil's Nightmare (1971) (Giacomo Rossi Stuart, Marina Malfatti); Tony Arzenta (1973) (Franco Nero, Marina Berti); Eye of the Cat (1976) (John Saxon, Tony Musante); Le fate ignoranti (2001) (Stefano Accorsi, Neri Marcorè); Cuore sacro (2005) (Fabio Acca, Sonia Bergamasco); Studio illegale (2013) (Fabio Volo, Zoé Félix); Dante (2022) (Pierfrancesco Favino, Micaela Ramazzotti).
