Dominique Darel (1950–1978) was a French model and actress, mainly active in Italian cinema.
Dominique Darel was born in Cannes and moved to Rome with her boyfriend Max Delys in 1968.[1][2]
Darel made her film debut in Luchino Visconti's Death in Venice, then became a minor starlet in Italian genre cinema.[3] She appeared in Andy Warhol's Dracula (1974), and for a pictorial that was published in the August 1974 issue of Playboy magazine, Warhol photographed Darel and Delys nude with his Polaroid camera in 1973.[4] She is probably best known for the role of Maria Romana De Gasperi in Roberto Rossellini's Year One.
Darel died at 28, on June 4, 1978, in a car accident in Cannes.[2][3]
