Moana Pozzi
Career
Born Anna Moana Rosa Pozzi in Genoa, she took small mainstream film roles from 1980 and competed in Miss Italia 1981 as Miss Cinema Roma before debuting in hardcore film the same year under the pseudonym Linda Heveret. Signed to Riccardo Schicchi’s Diva Futura agency, she became its most prominent domestic star with 1987’s Fantastica Moana. Alongside her film work she co-hosted the children’s programme Tip Tap Club on Rete 2 (1982), had a small role in Federico Fellini’s Ginger and Fred (1985), modelled on the runway for Chiara Boni (1993) and Fendi (1994), and published two books, La filosofia di Moana (1991) and Il sesso secondo Moana (1992). In April 1992 she became secretary of the Partito dell’Amore (Party of Love) and stood as a candidate during the Tangentopoli period. She died in September 1994; her officially recorded cause of death was hepatocellular carcinoma, though her husband claimed in 2007 to have administered euthanasia, a claim that remains unconfirmed.
Signature: The Diva Futura era’s biggest domestic name — party secretary of her own political movement, a Fellini credit, and a death whose circumstances are still disputed thirty years on.
