Claudia Cardinale Merges With The Infinite

Actress Claudia Cardinale has passed at the age of 87.

Cardinale, who hailed from Italy, appeared in a handful of American films.  She's most famous for 8 1/2 and one of my personal favorite films, Once Upon a Time In The West, where she plays Jill - a deeply complicated woman arriving on the frontier just as industrialization arrives on the front porch.

Here's one of my favorite sequences in cinema, featuring Cardinale (with an American voiceover, because Sergio Leone).
