Vera Carmi (23 November 1914 - 6 September 1969) was an Italian film actress. She appeared in more than 50 films between 1940 and 1956.[1]
Carmi was born Virginia Doglioli in Turin.[2] [3] After being spotted by the director Ferdinando Maria Poggioli in a beauty contest, she made her film debut in 1940, in a supporting role in Poggioli's Goodbye Youth and in a short time she became one of the most requested actresses in the Telefoni Bianchi genre.
After the war she got critical acclaim for a number of dramatic performances, notably Mario Soldati's His Young Wife and Luciano Emmer's Sunday in August. She was also very active on stage. Gradually cast in less important roles, she eventually retired in the second half of the 1950s.
Carmi was the first wife of the football player Aldo Giuseppe Borel.
