Whenever Magnani laughs or cries (which is often), it’s as if you’ve never seen anyone laugh or cry before: has laughter ever been so burstingly joyful or tears so shatteringly sad?

“Great passions don’t exist. They’re liars fantasies. What do exist are little loves that may last for a short or a longer while.”

“Le grandi passioni non esistono: sono fantasie dei bugiardi. Esistono solo i piccoli amori che possono durare poco oppure a lungo.”

Nannarè

“Ho capito che ero nata attrice. Avevo solo deciso di diventarlo nella culla, tra una lacrima di troppo e una carezza di meno. Per tutta la vita ho urlato con tutta me stessa per questa lacrima, ho implorato questa carezza. Se oggi dovessi morire, sappiate che ci ho rinunciato. Ma mi ci sono voluti tanti anni, tanti errori.”

Anna Magnani

Anna Magnani, who pushed her raw, virtuosic genius to cathartic heights seldom reached before or since in cinema, was born on this day in 1908.
