Ettore Manni (1927-1979) was an Italian film and television actor. While the handsome lead in the fifties, he became a character actor in the sixties. Probably his last role is best known, that of the despicable Katzone in Fellini's City of Women. He died because of a freak accident.
Ettore Manni was born in Rome in 1927. Motherless since birth, Manni was noticed by director Luigi Comencini, who was struck by this handsome and powerful out-of-school university student and made his debut in 1952 as the protagonist of the film La tratta delle bianche, alongside divas such as Eleonora Rossi Drago, Silvana Pampanini, Tamara Lees and a very young Sophia Loren. In that film, Manni's name appeared in the credits before those of Vittorio Gassman and Enrico Maria Salerno. This marked the beginning of an intense and successful season for Manni, who became a well-known actor in Italian cinema in the 1950s. The Roman actor ranged from the dramatic roles that characterized his debut - Le amiche by Michelangelo Antonioni, La lupa by Alberto Lattuada - to comedies - Poveri ma belli by Dino Risi, in which he played Ugo, the fiancé of Giovanna (Marisa Allasio), Ladro lui, ladra lei by Luigi Zampa, in which he played the merchant who saves Cesira (Sylva Koscina) by stealing her from the thief Cencio (Alberto Sordi), Marisa la civetta by Mauro Bolognini and Susanna tutta panna by Steno, the latter films in which he found Marisa Allasio again - to peplums - La rivolta dei gladiatori by Vittorio Cottafavi, La rivolta degli schiavi by Nunzio Malasomma - to Italian westerns - Johnny Oro by Sergio Corbucci, Un uomo, un cavallo, una pistola by Luigi Vanzi and many others directed by the specialist Demofilo Fidani.
With the passing of time, Ettore Manni's charm, in the meantime considerably weighed down, was no longer that of his early days; although he continued to work intensely in numerous films, he was gradually relegated to roles as a character actor or a negative character, definitively losing the image of the handsome and charming protagonist of the fifties and sixties. In the seventies, he was a fixed presence in the Italian detective genre, as well as playing various roles in several erotic films that raged on the screen in those years. He was directed by leading directors such as Luigi Magni, Mario Soldati, Delmer Daves, André Versini, Tony Richardson, Alberto Bevilacqua, Duccio Tessari, Tonino Cervi, Ettore Scola, Damiano Damiani, Gianni Serra and Carlo Lizzani. He also made several films for television, notably Orlando furioso by Luca Ronconi in 1974, Il nero muove by Gianni Serra (1977) and Circuito chiuso by Giuliano Montaldo in 1978. His last performance - perhaps artistically the most significant - was in 1979 in Federico Fellini's film La città delle donne/City of Women, in which he played the despicable Katzone. This feature film was released the following year, after Manni's death in July 1979 at the age of 52: while cleaning a rifle from his gun collection, an accidental bullet hit his leg and the actor bled to death. Manni was the partner of Krista Nell and was married to the French actress Mireille Granelli - who had worked with him in Ursus, the terror of the Kyrgyz - with whom he had a daughter.
