Gravy in one of her earliest roles, as vampiresa in Pedro Lazaga’s comedy Un vampiro para dos (1965)
Claudia Gravy was born as Marie-Claude Perin in Boma, Belgian Congo (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo), on May 12, 1945. After the colony had gained its independence from the Kingdom of Belgium in 1960, Perin relocated to Europe, eventually settling in Francoist Spain. Director Jorge Grau “discovered” her in the streets of Madrid and gave her a major role in Acteón (1965), his take on the Greek myth of Actaeon and Artemis.[1] Perin changed her name to less French-sounding Claudia Gravi/Gravy and embarked on a long movie career, comprising about eighty films, among them six Westerns.[2]

Notes
- ↑ The Internet Movie Database lists as her debut José María Forqué’s comedy Vacaciones para Ivette (1964), in which she supposedly has a tiny part as a flight attendant. This claim is highly doubtful, though.
- ↑ IMDb has her as “uncredited” in Eugenio Martín’s El hombre de Río Malo (1971). She appears neither in the Spanish nor in the English version, Bad Man’s River.
