Raffaella Carrà was born June 18th 1943 in Bologna (Italy) and she was a very famous soubrette, singer, show-girl in Italy, Spain and Latin-America. She is a show-woman: Raffaella introduces, entertains, interviews, dances, sings and, of course, she's an actress. Italian singer, dancer, and TV personality Raffaella Carrà, was born Raffaella Pelloni in Bellaria, Rimini. After graduating from the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia, she acted in numerous films from 1960-1970, including 1965's Von Ryan's Express with Frank Sinatra. That same year, Carrà played in the musical comedy "Scaramouche." Beginning in 1961, she also ventured into television, appearing on the shows like Tempo di Danza, Il Paroliere, and Questo Sconosciuto. In the show Lo, Agata e Tu in 1970, Carrà launched the popular dance tuca-tuca and its musical recording was also a huge hit. In 1971, she had another success on the TV show Canzonissima, performing the theme song "Chissà se Va." From the mid-'70s onward Carrà has been a popular TV hostess of various shows in Italy (Ma Che Sera, Fantastico 3, Pronto...Raffaella?, Domenica In, Weekend con Raffaella Carrà) and Spain (Hola Raffaella).Highly unlikely she was already a household name at the time of the Saturday night TV variety shows, when 'Signorina Pelloni' from Bologna, fresh from the beaches of the Adriatic and with a new stage name first coyly revealed her perfect navel and made quiet family men break out in a cold sweat; when her, far from skinny, legs gave some consolation to housewives struggling with the latest point-based diet; when her winning smile made the comic spells of Maga Maghella credible to the little ones. Carràmba che sorpresa!, ¡Hola Raffaella!, Canzonissima, En casa con R affaella, Pronto... Raffaella?, A las 8 con Raffaella, Ma che sera, La hora de Raffaella Carrà, Domenica in... and more, are some variety shows's titles of her programs in Spain and in Italy.
