Actress Paola Gassman has died at the age of 78. Daughter of Vittorio and star of the Italian theater scene, she had been ill for some time. Giving the sad news was her lifelong companion, actor Ugo Pagliai, along with her children Simona and Tommaso and the entire family. She was a daughter of art, for her mother was the prose actress Nora Ricci. She was also the sister of Vittoria Gassman, Alessandro Gassmann and Jacopo Gassman. She graduated from the Accademia d'Arte Drammatica "Silvio D'Amico" in 1968 and since then has devoted herself almost exclusively to theater, with the exception of a few television appearances, which have seen her appear in successful comedies and dramas.
