  The Roman Muse by Franco D'Alessandro
Over the years Magnani herself was on the receiving end of some of Tennessee's verbal indiscretions -in particular his choice words to the press regarding her participation in the incommensurate and mawkish "Secret of Santa Vittoria".
Magnani was clearly a woman well ahead of her time and she lived her life completely on her own terms.
Though Magnani clearly inspired the characters of "The Rose Tattoo" (Serafina and Rosa), "Orpheus Descending" (Lady and Carol), and "Sweet Bird of Youth" (The Princess and Heavenly), further examination reveals reflections of her in Maggie in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and Maxine in "Night of the Iguana".

 Anna Magnani   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Anna Magnani was the exception; earthy and unkempt, she was neither glamorous nor statuesque, yet radiated such fierce intelligence and sensuality that she became a major star, and along with Guilietta Masina she reigned as the most celebrated Italian actress of the postwar era.
Born March 7, 1908, in Alexandria, Egypt, Magnani was raised by her grandmother in the slums of Rome.
It was the last of Magnani's films distributed outside in the English-language market for some time, and she next appeared in Claude Autant-Lara's 1963 effort Le Magot de Josefa, followed a year later by Volles Herz und Leere Taschen.

 Anna Magnani Biography :: Hollywood.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Though her early career had encompassed repertory work, musical comedy and vaudeville, Magnani subsequently tended to appear in tempestuous, earthy and maternal roles, such as the overbearing stage mother in Visconti's "Bellismima" (1951) and the passionate widow in her Oscar-winning Hollywood turn in "The Rose Tattoo" (1955), written by Tennessee Williams with her in mind.
Wild-eyed, with a dumpy, matronly figure, and a disheveled appearance, Magnani nonetheless became a symbol of seething, earthy, mature sexuality in the postwar years and throughout the 1950s.
Magnani's last really important performance in film came with her galvanizing work in the title role of Pier Paolo Pasolini's powerful "Mamma Roma" (1962), though she was quite pleasingly robust and lusty in the enjoyable comedy "The Secret of Santa Vittoria" (1969).
