Mary Moser RA (27 October 1744 – 2 May 1819) was an English painter and one of the most celebrated women artists of 18th-century Britain. One of only two female founding members of the Royal Academy in 1768 (along with Angelica Kauffman), Moser painted portraits but is particularly noted for her depictions of flowers.

Mary Moser was born in London. She was trained by her Swiss-born artist and enameller father George Michael Moser (1706–1783), George III's own drawing master. Her talents were evident at an early age: she won her first Society of Arts medal at 14, and regularly exhibited flower pieces, and occasional history paintings, at the Society of Artists of Great Britain. Ten years later, however, her thirst for professional recognition led her to join with 35 other artists (including her father) in forming the Royal Academy, and, with Angelica Kauffman, she took an active role in proceedings.

​In a group portrait by Johan Zoffany, The Academicians of the Royal Academy (1771–72; Royal Collection, London), members are shown gathered around a nude male model at a time when women were excluded from such training in order to protect their modesty. So that Moser and Kauffman could be included, Zoffany added them as portraits hanging on the wall.

George Romney (c. 1770) painted a portrait of Moser at work on a still life which was acquired by the National Portrait Gallery (London) in 2003.

Her influences include the older Dutch masters, famed for glowing color against dark backgrounds. From the beginning, her approach was "bold and luxurious," writes Germaine Greer.

In the 1790s, Moser received a prestigious commission, for which she was paid over £900, from Queen Charlotte to complete a floral decorative scheme for a room in Frogmore House in Windsor, Berkshire. This was to prove one of her last professional works.

At 53, she married Captain Hugh Lloyd, the widower of a friend on 23 October 1793. She retired and began exhibiting as an amateur under her married name. She continued showing at the Royal Academy until 1802.

At this period Moser had a brief affair with artist Richard Cosway, who was then separated from his wife Maria Cosway, an Anglo-Italian artist. Moser travelled with him for six months on a sketching tour in 1793.

"One of the most celebrated women artists of 18th-century Britain," Moser died in Upper Thornhaugh Street, London, on 2 May 1819, and was buried, alongside her husband in Kensington Cemetery.

Moser's pieces in the British Royal Collection show that she was not only "the first significant British flower painter, she was also one of the best." Her portrait of famed British sculptor Joseph Nollekens hangs in the Yale Center for British Art.

After Moser's death in 1819, no further women were elected as full members of the Academy until Dame Laura Knight in 1936.

Mastroianni made his screen debut as an uncredited extra in Marionette (1939) when he was fourteen, and made intermittent minor film appearances until landing his first big role in Atto d'accusa (1951).

Mastroianni married Flora Carabella (1926–1999) on 12 August 1950. They had one daughter together, Barbara (1951–2018).

Mastroianni died of pancreatic cancer on 19 December 1996 at the age of 72. Both of his daughters, as well as Catherine Deneuve and Anna Maria Tatò, were at his bedside.

The Trevi Fountain in Rome, associated with his role in Fellini's La Dolce Vita, was symbolically turned off and draped in black as a tribute.

At the 1997 Venice Film Festival, Marcello Mastroianni's daughter Chiara Mastroianni, his ex-wife Carabella Mastroianni and Catherine Deneuve tried to block the screening of Tatò's four-hour documentary, Marcello Mastroianni: I Remember. The festival refused and the film was shown. The three women reportedly tried to do the same thing at Cannes. Tatò said Mastroianni had willed her all rights to his image.

Il vero e proprio debutto nel cinema avviene nel 1948 con I miserabili, film di Riccardo Freda tratto dall'omonimo romanzo di Victor Hugo. Nello stesso periodo comincia ad ottenere piccole parti in teatro, dapprima in compagnie di dilettanti. Viene notato da Luchino Visconti, che gli offre il suo primo ruolo da professionista, in Rosalinda o Come vi piace da Shakespeare e poi in Un tram che si chiama Desiderio di Tennessee Williams.

L'affermazione definitiva arriva nel 1958 con I soliti ignoti, cui segue Adua e le compagne (1960). I due capolavori di Federico Fellini: La dolce vita (1960) e il successivo 8½ (1963) gli conferiranno il successo internazionale e la fama di «latin lover», dalla quale cercherà, più o meno inutilmente, di difendersi fino all'età più matura.

Nel 1961 esce Divorzio all'italiana commedia nera basata sull'omicidio d'onore. Il film presentato al 15º Festival di Cannes ottiene il premio per la migliore commedia e vincitore, nel 1963, di un Premio Oscar per la migliore sceneggiatura originale, risulta essere un successo internazionale, consolidando la fama di Mastroianni che ottiene per la sua interpretazione del barone Cefalù il Nastro d'argento al migliore attore protagonista, il premio BAFTA al migliore attore straniero, il Golden Globe per il miglior attore in un film commedia o musicale e infine la candidatura all'Oscar al miglior attore.

Nel 1962 il settimanale americano Time gli dedica un servizio, come divo straniero più ammirato negli USA. Il suo fascino di attore gli derivava, oltre che dalla sua bellezza e da interpretazioni sempre di altissimo livello, anche da un tratto distaccato, a tratti sornione, dal quale sembrava trasparire talvolta una velata malinconia e persino una certa timidezza.

Ne I compagni (1963), di Mario Monicelli, interpreta il ruolo di un intellettuale socialista che fomenta le rivolte di fabbrica, mentre, sotto la direzione di Vittorio De Sica, ritrova Sophia Loren come partner femminile in Ieri, oggi, domani (1963), Matrimonio all'italiana (1964) e I girasoli (1970): la coppia che ha formato con lei è stato un sodalizio artistico tra i più riusciti del cinema italiano, che si è snodato con episodi memorabili lungo l'intera carriera di entrambi.

Nel 1968 gira Amanti sotto la regia di Vittorio De Sica. Protagonista femminile è Faye Dunaway, con la quale avrà una breve ma chiacchieratissima storia sentimentale quando viveva con la moglie. La loro fu una relazione intensa, tanto che Faye avrebbe voluto sposarlo e avere da lui dei figli, ma lui temporeggiava, indeciso se lasciare o meno la moglie; infine, la Dunaway si fidanzò con Harris Yulin e la loro relazione ebbe così termine.

Nello stesso periodo gira alcuni film in lingua inglese, manifestando una notevole capacità di dizione anche in questa lingua. 

Marpessa Hennink(12 July 1964) is a Dutch fashion model. She is best known for her work as a runway model, which earned her the moniker “The Catwalk Contessa”.

Marpessa Hennink was born in Amsterdam, Netherlands to a Dutch mother and a Dutch / Surinamese father of African ancestry.

From as young as the age of four, Hennink expressed an interest in fashion and began working as a model after she turned sixteen, having been discovered by a magazine editor in her native Amsterdam.  This happened despite being rejected, deemed “too exotic” by the Eileen Ford agency during a casting call.

She credited the late fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez with recommending her to some of the prominent designers,  such as Azzedine Alaia, and Karl Lagerfeld of the fashion house Chanel.  Most notably, Hennink walked the runway for Dolce & Gabbana's first fashion show in 1985,  at the beginning of their career as designers. The same year, she appeared in the music video for Bryan Ferry's song, "Slave to Love", directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino.

Hennink went on to walk the runway for many other designers including Versace, Christian Lacroix, Valentino, Christian Dior, Gianfranco Ferré, Oscar de la Renta, Calvin Klein, Issey Miyake, Moschino, Claude Montana, Salvatore Ferragamo, Comme des Garçons, Lanvin, Thierry Mugler, Donna Karan, Trussardi, Mila Schön, Rifat Özbek, and Bruce Oldfield.

In 1993, after the publication of the book Marpessa, uno sguardo, by Ferdinando Scianna, Hennink retired from modeling, having also been put off by the arrival of the grunge fashion trend. 

Upon her retirement, she moved to Ibiza, Spain, where she began a career as an interior decorator.  She made a return to the fashion runways in 2004, where she closed the Fall / Winter show for designer Antonio Marras.

​ In 2005, Hennink gave birth to a daughter.

In January 2011, Hennink was chosen to walk in a special fashion show held by designer Alberta Ferretti in Florence, Italy. Then, in May 2011, she walked in the "Fashion for Relief" benefit show in Cannes, France. The following year, Dolce & Gabbana launched a line of made-to-measure clothing called "Alta Moda", and chose Hennink as the global ambassador for that line.

Marpessa Hennink speaks six languages. In her spare time, she enjoys interior decorating and photography. She considers Inès de La Fressange, Diana Vreeland, and Madeleine Castaing as her style icons.
