Italian actress Franca Bettoja (Bettoia) left us on 13 September 2024 at age 88, in Rome, Italy.
She’s remembered for her film role as Ruth Collins in “The Last Man On Earth” (1964), starring Vincent Price. In 1972, she married Ugo Tognazzi. They had two children, actor Gianmarco Tognazzi, born in 1967, and director, assistant director, and screenwriter Maria Sole Tognazzi, born in 1971. She was the stepmother of the director, screenwriter, and actor Ricky Tognazzi born in 1955.
In 1974, she starred alongside Catherine Deneuve, Marcello Mastroianni, and Michel Piccoli in the Euro-western “Touche pas à la femme blanche” (Don't Touch the White Woman), directed by Marco Ferreri.
In 1975, with her mother Maris, Franca Bettoia established Gran Loggia Femminile d’Italia, the first Italian Masonic obedience exclusively for women.
Thank you to Tom Betts for the information.

Anyone from Yorkshire have memories of Tingalary men?
I raise the question in connection with the Bill Nelson song Tingalary Man And The Scarlet Fever Kid from Stereo Star Maps.
Found discussion at a forum called Secret Leeds where people shared memory fragments of older relatives in Yorkshire singing about the Tingalary Man.
Google image search yielded images from the Bradford Industrial Museum and a Wikipedia entry on the barrel organ. Also found The Tingalary Bird : A Theatre Piece For Children In Three Acts By Mary Melwood along with a painting by G.W. Birks.
"Even further back I remember Italians who played barrel organs, or tingalary, or hurdy-gurdy - each area of Bradford had their own names for these things. There were also ice-cream men who pulled a hand cart. Some even had a little monkey on their shoulder dressed in a coat and a fez."
Thanks for those memories, Mr Hodgson, from a time long past.
From Telegraph & Argus
Along with Bill’s The Tingalary Man And The Scarlet Fever Kid, there are songs that recall similar characters like Donovan’s The Hurdy Gurdy Man and Madness’s The Last Rag And Bone Man …
