Mr. Fabrizi was Italian actor best known for his performance as the
lady-killer among a group of small-town youths in Federico Fellini's 'I
Vitelloni'. Starting as a stage and variety revue actor in 1947, he
broke into film in 1952 with Francesco De Roberti's 'Carica Eroica'.
His role as a tireless philanderer became characteristic of his
on-screen and off- screen persona. The actor was linked in the gossip
columns of the dolce vita period to a long line of actresses and
society doyennes. Though rarely cast in leading roles, Mr. Fabrizi
appeared in about 150 films, usually playing superficial opportunistic
sidekicks.
