Nieves Navarro García (born November 11, 1938 in Almería, Spain) is a retired Spanish-born Italian actress and fashion model. Navarro worked extensively in Italian cinema appearing alongside actors such as Totò and Lino Banfi in the 1960s and 70s. She later adopted the Americanized stage name Susan Scott for many of her productions after 1969. Navarro was also one of the first female stars of the Spaghetti Western genre making her feature film debut in ''A Pistol for Ringo'' and its sequel ''The Return of Ringo'' along with later appearances in ''The Big Gundown'' (1966), ''Long Days of Vengeance'' (1967), ''Light the Fuse... Sartana Is Coming'' (1970) and ''Adiós, Sabata'' (1971). In 1972, she married the Italian director and producer Luciano Ercoli, starring in many of his productions up until the early-1980s, and was familiar for her erotically-themed roles in giallo and sex comedies. She went into semi-retirement after 1983, making two last films in 1989. In recent years, she returned to live in her native Spain with her husband. == Career == Navarro's career began as advertising and fashion model. The introduction of television in Spain in 1956 led to further appearances in commercials and other work in the industry during the next few years. She began her career as a film actress in Italy alongside Totò in the Lawrence of Arabia parody ''Toto of Arabia'' (1965),〔Parish, James and Michael Pitts. ''The Great Spy Pictures II''.

(pg. 304)〕 a Spanish-Italian co-production, in which she played Doris, a beautiful spy in the service of the British SIS, who charms the Sheik of Kuwait El Ali el Buzur (Fernando Sancho) and allows Totò to use her to drive the one hundred wives of Sheik jealous. Her early work in films took place in the Spaghetti Westerns that were shot regularly in her hometown of Almeria. In 1965, she appeared in ''A Pistol for Ringo'', starring Giuliano Gemma, as the girlfriend of the Mexican bandit Sancho (Fernando Sancho). Navarro also appeared in the sequel ''The Return of Ringo'',〔Giacovelli, Enrico. ''Un Secolo di Cinema Italiano, 1900-1999: Dalle origini agli anni Sessanta''. Lindau: Torino, 2002. (pg. 339)〕 and supporting roles in ''The Big Gundown'' (1966),〔Frayling, Christopher. ''Spaghetti Westerns: Cowboys and Europeans from Karl May to Sergio Leone''.

She subsequently moved to Italy with Ercoli where she spent the rest of her career, starring in many of her husband's projects, which ended veering towards Italian erotica and "giallo" cinema. It was in the latter genre that highlighted her as a major star especially her appearances in the Emannuelle series, ''Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals'' (1977) and ''Emanuelle e Lolita'' (1978), directed by Joe D'Amato〔 and Henri Sala respectively. In 1983, Navarro attempted to return to Spanish cinema with films like Gianfranco Angelucci's drama ''Honey'' with Fernando Rey,〔Maltin, Leonard. ''Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide 2004''. New York: Signet, 2003. (pg. 633) ISBN 0-451-20940-0〕 but with less than expected success. She made two last films in 1989, ''Fiori di zucca'' and ''Casa di piacere'', before going into retirement.〔Castoldi, Gian Luca. ''Donne in Prigione: Nazisti, Horror e Fantascienza, Thriller, Decameroni e Film Esotici''. Rome: Profondo Rosso, 2005. (pg. 198)〕 In recent years, she has returned to Spain, settling in Barcelona with Ercoli. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nieves Navarro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
