Lia Anna Di Leo (22 July 1923 – 15 December 2006) was an Italian actress and model.[1] She entered the 1951 Miss Italy contest and then began acting in films, generally playing glamorous supporting roles.

Di Leo's parents died while she was very young, and as a result she raised her two younger twin brothers, Marion and Tony. After marrying in 1957 she retired from the screen and moved to the United States, where she worked as a sculptor.[2] She died in Palm Springs, California on 15 December 2006, at the age of 83.[3][4]
