GETTY

Elsa Martinelli has passed away at the age of 82

The film star and former fashion model – who starred alongside Kirk Douglas in The Indian Fighter back in 1955 – is said to have died in Rome today, but further details are yet to be released.

Elsa – who was also known for her role in Le Rouge Et Le Noir in 1954 – was born in Grosseto, Tuscany, before she moved to Rome with her family in 1953, where she was discovered by Roberto Capucci who introduced her to the world of fashion.

The beauty quickly became a model and began playing small roles in films, with her first important role being in The Indian Fighter with Kirk; who claimed to have spotted her on a magazine cover and hired her for his production company, Bryna Productions.
