Nope, not Eartha Kitt.

The woman in the picture is still alive.

Some more clues:

Her best known film was a very famous European one - but she was not born in the particular country where that film was made.

If she were a landmark, she would probably be a fountain.

If she were a network, she would probably be A&E.

Tricky clues, aren't they? (Heheheheh....)

Signor V.

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
