	ACTRESS CLAUDIA CARDINALE NAMED UNESCO GOODWILL AMBASSADOR {7 March 2000} (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Paris, March 7 {No.2000-18} - The actress Claudia Cardinale was named UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador by the Organization's Director-General Koïchiro Matsuura "in recognition of her commitment in favour of UNESCO's programmes dedicated to improving the lives of women and young girls through education, as well as the promotion and affirmation of their rights."

		During her career, which began in the 1960s with films such as Rocco and His Brothers, 81/2, and The Leopard, Ms Cardinale has won many awards, including the Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival (1963); the Golden Shell of the Festival of San Sebastian (1967); and the Golden Lion of the Venice Festival (1994).
