Cardinale married Italian director, Pasquale Squitieri in 1975 and was with him until his death in 2017. The pair have one daughter, Claudia.
In 2022, Cardinale addressed rumors that she was involuntarily hospitalized. Living in France, she said “I’m next to my family, I’m in full health. And I wish everyone a happy summer.”
Today, Cardinale is heavily involved with UNESCO as the goodwill ambassador for the Defence of Women’s Rights.
Claudia Cardinale had quite a life, filled with trauma and successes. It’s great to see that she’s empowering other women with her story, and we hope that she continues in good health. What’s your favorite Cardinale film?
