Actress. Sometimes simply credited as Valli, was born in Pola, Istria, Italy (now Pula, Croatia), and christened Alida Maria Laura von Altenburger. She appeared in over 100 films including The Paradine Case (1947), but is probably most widely known for her appearance in The Third Man (1949). Valli was discovered by David Selznick, who signed her to a contract, thinking that he had found a second Ingrid Bergman. However she had a thick accent, which resulted in her English language film career being short-lived, but she continued to work in the Italian, and occasionally French, cinema into the 21st century.
