Marina Malfatti – Rest in Peace

Marina Malfatti RIPFans of the Italian Giallo films has lost another actress that graced the screen in more than a few films in the early ’70s. Marina Malfatti passed away on June 8th, at the age of 76. She appeared in titles like The Fourth Victim (1971), The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave (1971), All the Colors of the Dark (1972), Seven Blood-Stained Orchids (1972), and The Red Queen Kills Seven Times (1972).

How strange that two of her films, The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave and The Red Queen Kills Seven Times, were recently released in a box set from Arrow, called the Kiler Dames collection. We can only hope that because of these films, it will introduce her to even more film fans around the country. And each time we watch one of them, or any of her movies, we will be paying tribute to her and remembering this beautiful talent.
