This is (yet) another comparison based on our 2018 GOAT of all time polls. I wanted to compare them because for many they are their countries leading actress ever and they are mostly known for 2 or so roles to us on here but they have a deeper and more interesting body of work than just that. They also are off the "popularity" track and give people who maybe find the other threads boring to chime in and offer some viewpoints on them too. Adjani was 23 in our poll - Magnani 43.......Adjani has 2 performances that may have her win this poll right of the bat and 5 César awards ......Magnani of course has an Oscar and back to back David di Donatello wins aside from her Hollywood triumphs. One thing you can say for them both........they could both go very big........memorably.   |

Adjani for sure. I honestly never understood the fascination for Magnani.

Magnani unfortunately lives in the shadow of Loren.

One bump so this doesn't get lost in Polland......surprisingly close so far......low votes though.......

Hard not to pick Adjani just off Possession and Adele H, but beyond those I don't really love much. She certainly was a great beauty with a ghostly lure, but she could be dreary and kinda unfun..... whereas Magnani, also with a lot of emotionally bare perfs, would go so big it'd ricochet and work anyway, and she could be an infectiously hilarious good time on screen which I never saw in Adjani. Quindi prenderò Magnani!

Magnani was big. Adjani had to work for it the hard way... all that contortion and bouncing around in Possession seem like a pretentious mess compared to any great Magnani perf (she could be diabolical alright).
Adjani's Adele H. is flawless acting though, the kind that makes you fall in love with her - a blessing and a curse to peak at 19.
