Sylva Koscina and Jean Sorel in I Protagonisti/The Protagonists (Marcello Fondato, 1968). Italian actress Sylva Koscina (1933-1994) may be best remembered as Iole, the bride of Steve Reeves in the original version of Hercules (1958). She also starred in several Italian and Hollywood comedies of the 1950s and 1960s. With his dreamy features and glossy, immovable hair, French actor Jean Sorel (1934) was one of the most handsome leading men of European cinema in the 1960s and 1970s. He worked in the French, Italian and later in the Spanish cinema with such directors as Luis Buñuel and Luchino Visconti. Since 1980 he appeared mostly on television.
