Lea Massari (born Anna Maria Massetani; 30 June 1933) is an Italian actress and singer.
Massari was born in Rome, Italy, as Anna Maria Massetani, but changed her name to Lea Massari when she was 22, after the death of her fiancé Leo. She studied architecture in Switzerland.
Massari became known in art cinema for two roles: the missing girl Anna in Michelangelo Antonioni's L'Avventura (1960), and as Clara, the mother of a sexually precocious 14-year-old boy named Laurent (Benoît Ferreux) in Louis Malle's Murmur of the Heart (1971).[2]
Massari worked in both Italian and French cinema. Her career includes Sergio Leone's debut The Colossus of Rhodes (Il Colosso di Rodi, 1961)[3] and international commercial films such as The Things of Life (Les choses de la vie, 1970).
Massari was a member of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival in 1975.[4]
Massari won the Nastro d'Argento for Best Supporting Actress award for her appearance in Francesco Rosi's Christ Stopped at Eboli (Cristo si è fermato a Eboli, 1979), .
