Federica Ranchi (5 May 1939 – 15 May 2025) was an Italian actress.
Born in Trieste, while a student at liceo linguistico Ranchi was noted by a Cines employee through a picture of her ballet company, and subsequently won an audition for the Leonardo De Mitri's comedy-drama Wives and Obscurities.[1][2]
Typically cast in roles of sensitive and fragile women, following several roles with auteurs such as Valerio Zurlini and Gillo Pontecorvo and in some genre films, in 1963 Ranchi married a Greek shipowner and eventually retired from showbusiness, even refusing a five-year contract with Dino De Laurentiis.[1][2]
Ranchi died on 15 May 2025, at the age of 86.[3]
