Life and career
Born in Arcisate, Province of Varese, Neri started her career appearing in the 1954 Garinei & Giovannini's musical comedy Tobia la candina spia.[1] She had her breakout with the Marcello Marchesi's RAI variety show Invito al sorriso, and got a lot of press coverage because of her resemblance to Marilyn Monroe, which led to her being labeled as the "Italian Marilyn Monroe" and nicknamed Marilina.[1][2][3]
During a trip in England to shoot a television commercial, Neri met the conductor Jack Hylton, with whom she started a long romantic relationship and had a daughter, Angela.[2][3][4] During her career she was mainly active on stage, where among others she worked with Giorgio Strehler and Umberto Simonetta.[1][2]
