She made her feature-film debut in 1956 playing opposite comedian "Toto" and "Vittorio Gassman" in "I Soliti Ignoti" ("Big Deal on Madonna Street"/Big Deal). Gravina appeared in three more films between then and 1960, including "Tutti a Casa!" ("Everybody Go Home") before disappearing from the screen. It would be eight years before she appeared in her next film, "La Monaca di Monza: Una Storia Lombarda". In 1979, Gravina won a Best Supporting Actress award at that year's Cannes Film Festival for "La Terrazza" (The Terrace). After that, she worked with the government through 1983. A decade later, Gravina was named Best Actress at the 1993 Montreal Film Festival for her work in "Margarethe Von Trotta"'s Lungo Silenco. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
