Sadly the only actress of these 10 I've heard about is Sylva Koscina.

Mainly because I had this album once:

Several of these performers had successful careers in Italy. Sylva Koscina was a major favourite of comedy filmmaker Steno who directed her in the science-fiction fantasy 'Toto In The Moon' (1958), comedy horror 'Uncle Was A Vampire' (1959) and crime caper 'Copacabana Palace' (1962). Camillo Mastrocinque also directed Koscina in the comedies 'Toto In Paris' (1958) and 'The Bill Of Exchange' (1959) around this time.

She worked in France a lot too, as well as Spain and Portugal. My favourite of her British movies is 'Hot Enough For June' (1964).

Hi there petrolino Taking the time to say thanks I have been enjoying your wonderfully interesting and insightful threads of late, Being a great admirer of classic Yugoslav film and having some Zagreb blood & proudly with a hint of gypsy this lovely thread in particular is close to my heart .
Hope you don't mind me adding... number 11

Olivera Katarina The much loved Serbian actress, singer and writer now in her late 70s is still actively working today. Known also as Olivera Vučo she was one of the leading stars of Yugoslav cinema in the 1960s and throughout the the 1970s. Probably best known in film to a wider audience,her wonderfully spirited performance in Skupljači perja , I Even Met Happy Gypsies (1967). Famously it was in this film she sings with great emotion "Đelem, đelem" anthem of the Romani people...

Please do contribute, the more the merrier.

I'm just fascinated how many contributors to 1960s & 1970s Italian genre cinema were born in Yugoslav territories. Including, Maria Baxa, whose sudden passing has been commemorated by teleadm this week. I dedicate all my thoughts on this thread to her (in abiding memory).

Maria Baxa R.I.P.
