Anita Strindberg

Anita Strindberg (born 1944 in Sweden) is a former actress who became one of the most well-known stars of the Italian "giallo" films in the 1970s.

Strindberg started her career in "gialli" with Lucio Fulci's "Una lucertola con la pelle di donna" ("A Lizard in a Woman's Skin") in 1971 and starred in her first lead role that same year, in Sergio Martino -directed "La coda dello scorpione" ("Case of the Scorpion's Tail"). In 1972, she starred in two more gialli; in Aldo Lado's "Chi l'ha vista morire?" ("Who Saw Her Die?") with George Lazenby and Martino's "Il tuo vizio è una stanza chiusa e solo io ne ho la chiave" ("Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key") with Luigi Pistilli and Edwige Fenech.cite web | title=Scream Queens: Anita Strindberg | work=The Terror Trap | url=http://www.terrortrap.com/screamqueens/strindberg.htm | accessdate=2007-03-04]
