Born on Aug 22, 1933 in Zagreb, Croatia. Died of heart ailments on Dec 26, 1994 in Rome, Italy at age 61. Reportedly 5' 7", 39-25-37.

A lot of sex comedies from the 70s were probably hard to sit through even then. Back when the Z Channel was around I happened on one such comedy called Casanova & Co., an awful film starring Tony Curtis as the legendary lover. My initial reason for not changing the channel was the appearance of former Playboy Playmate Lillian Müller, of whom I was a fan, but soon I discovered another reason to stay with the film: Sylva Koscina. Neither woman was in the film all that much, so by the end I was left a bit disappointed, and I've never seen Sylva in anything else, despite her endless film credits. Someday I'll have to get around to finding a better video store, but in the meantime all I have to remember her by is what I've got in the photo archive here.
