From 1981 to 1997 she was joint artistic director of the Teatro Elisio in Rome. Her last movie was Argento's "Non ho sonno" in 2001. She appeared on the stage until 2013.

She married twice. Her first husband was an engineer and died during their marriage. Her second husband was the industrialist Gualtiero Giori and this marriage ended in a divorce. At the end of the 1950s she had a love affair with the actor Renato Salvatori, followed by another with the actor Umberto Orsini.
