And started her life in art: the role of subretok, with lightning speed runs on the stage with the words: "eat filed." Desperation attacks spleen, tears of humiliation. "In 1928 the troupe was to go on tour to Argentina. But this year brought some disappointment. Dzekki Carlo, a talented Italian pianist, whom Anna was going to marry, got in a car accident. Nikkodemi company collapsed. And the biggest blow - the death of the grandmother, the only truly loved her man.

The true triumph of popularity among the people has brought her season on stage, which she played in the troupe Gunduz paired with well-known comic Toto. It was here, in the revue, born the image of folk hero, embodied by it shortly on the screen, "jellyfish", as called her later appearance of film critics.
And it Magnani, Visconti was going to lift in his first film, the famous "obsession", but withdrew because she was pregnant that time. October 23, 1942 from Anna was born the son of Luke. When the end of the war, Visconti Nazis persecuted, Magnani hid it in his house - trembled with fear as she admitted, but hid.
In the years 1943-1944 Magnani played once in six scenes, including the "Campo di fori" M. Bonnard and "The last carousel" M. Mattoli.
February 18, 1944 Magnani and Toto played in the new revue, "What do you вбила himself in the head." And once the Americans entered Rome, Magnani sang satirical couplets to sketch. Parodies entirely kept in the comedy talent Magnani, her virtuosic improvisation and gegah. The audience enthusiastically took an actress.

The second - the famous heroine of melodrama Cocteau "The human voice." After Magnani parted with Rossellini, it began a long period of painful untimely.
In 1951, Visconti offered her a role in the "most beautiful", and this movie has become a real benefit Magnani. Only it was with her unique talent and a tragic comedy actress could play all of the diverse values that were laid in the form of Maddalena Chekkoni, simple woman, committed six attached to my daughter in a movie.

Franco Dzeffirelli, artist, producer, invites her to one of the best female roles of the world′s repertoire - Pina of "wolf" D. Vergi.
