Claudia Cardinale. NYT (archived). IMDB.
The only Claudia Cardinale movie I’ve seen is “Lost Command” (though both “8 1/2” and “Fitzcarraldo” are on our list: “Son of the Pink Panther” is not). She was on a lot of lists of “the most beautiful women in the world”.
Bernie Parent, goalie.
…
Parent was unprepared for life after hockey. He fell into a depression. He drank too much and got help through Alcoholics Anonymous to become sober. He coached another Flyers goalie, Pelle Lindbergh, who won the Vezina Trophy in 1985. (Later that year, Lindbergh, 26, died of injuries from a car accident.)
“When death defeats greatness, we all mourn,” Parent said at a memorial service for Lindbergh at the Spectrum, the Flyers’ home arena at the time. “And when death defeats youth, we mourn even more.”
Parent worked for many years as a team ambassador for the Flyers, as a spokesman for an insurance company and as a motivational speaker. He also helped other recovering alcoholics.
Claudia is also in Once Upon A Time In The West – one of my favorite Westerns, and definitely worth your time.

I have not seen “Once Upon A Time in the West” and would like to. It isn’t on our movie list: I’ll have to talk to Lawrence about that tonight.
One big blocker is that it is two hours and 46 minutes long, according to IMDB, so we may have to wait for a night when:
1) A Western is on the table, and
B) We have time to watch a nearly three-hour long move (and the way we work, it will probably be closer to four hours, at least).
