Gloria Guida (Italian pronunciation: [ˈɡlɔːrja ˈɡwiːda]; born 19 November 1952) is an Italian actress and model. She is best known for starring in commedia sexy all'italiana, particularly the La liceale series, and also in erotic coming-of-age-drama films in the mid-1970s.

Life and career[edit]

Gloria Guida was born in Merano, Italy, to a family from Emilia-Romagna. She moved with her family to Bologna as a child. She first began a singing career, starting in her father's dancing place on the Romagna coast. Then she took up modeling, becoming Miss Teenage Italia in 1974.

Guida subsequently went on to star in many sexy comedies. Two of her early films, La ragazzina (Monika in English-language release) and La minorenne, both shot in the summer of 1974, are stories of young female characters discovering their sexuality. She made her real breakthrough in 1975 with La liceale (The Teasers). Another film of particular success was Avere vent'anni ("To Be Twenty") in 1978, where she starred with Lilli Carati.

She considers herself Roman Catholic.[1]
