Biography:Yugoslav-born actress "Sylva Koscina" was an Italian resident from the age of 12. In films from 1955, Koscina gained international attention for her leading-lady stints in "Steve Reeves"' first two "Hercules" films. She went on to appear in so many films in so many roles that it's difficult to "type"her: she was an adventurous acrobat in "Judex" (1960), a socially conscious nun in "The Little Nuns" (1962), "herself" in Fellini's "Juliet and the Spirits" (1965), a lesbian assassin in "Deadlier Than the Male" (1967) and so on. Retiring from films in 1987, Sylva Koscina returned before the cameras in the year just prior to her death: her last appearance was in the tantalizingly titled "Kim Novak is on the Phone" (1994). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
