Actress Virna Lisi dies at 78. She played memorable roles in European and Hollywood films including the 1965 comedy classic “How To Murder Your Wife,” (her debut in Hollywood) with Jack Lemmon, in which she famously pops out of wedding cake wearing a bikini, and also a masterfully maleficent queen in Patrice Chereau’s “La Reine Margot.” Tired of being relegated to playing “dumb blonde” roles, Lisi in the late ’60’s broke her seven-year contract with Paramount Studios, after paying a costly penalty fee and reportedly turning down the lead role in “Barbarella,” which went to Jane Fonda. NOTE: She began her film career as a teenager in 1953, initially thanks to her incredible good looks.
