Paola Senatore

Paola Senatore, born on November 9, 1949, in Rome, is a former Italian film actress celebrated for her work in various genre films during the 1970s. Her career is marked by prominent roles in a range of Italian cinema, including the popular poliziotteschi, commedia sexy all'italiana, and giallo films. Noteworthy titles from her filmography include cult classics such as "Ricco the Mean Machine" (1973), "The Flower with the Petals of Steel" (1973), "The Killer Reserved Nine Seats" (1974), and "Salon Kitty" (1976). She also appeared in the controversial "Emanuelle in America" (1977) and participated in Umberto Lenzi's notorious cannibal film "Eaten Alive!" (1980).

As her career progressed into the mid-1980s, Senatore transitioned to soft-core erotic films under the direction of Joe D'Amato. However, personal challenges, including struggles with drug addiction and a pregnancy, led her to take part in pornographic magazines and a hard-core film titled "Non stop... sempre buio in sala."

Senatore's film career came to an abrupt end in September 1985 when she was arrested for drug possession and trafficking, marking a significant turning point in her life. Despite the challenges, her contributions to Italian cinema during a vibrant era remain memorable.
