Career

Paluzzi was born in Rome and was brought up there. She went to Milan and studied naval engineering for two years at the Scientific Academy of Milan, being the only woman in her class.

For her first appearances, she was a nominated walk-on in Three Coins in the Fountain (1954), which she discovered through a friend of her father's who was invited for dinner and discovered that Paluzzi might be a good choice. Negulesco had not been happy with the other actresses so far, but Paluzzi, who did not intend to become an actress, recited the English word the next day (it was the first English she spoke at that time), so she earned the job.

Paluzzi went on to appear in numerous films, the bulk of which were made in her native Italy. Luciana Paoluzzi appears in her early films as Luciana Paoluzzi.

In 1957, she went to England to star in the British war film No Time To Die (also known as Tank Force), alongside Victor Mature, where she was directed by Terence Young.
