As the daughter of Hollywood icon Tyrone Power, Romina Power could have come to America and used her father's famous name. Instead, Romina chose to follow a European career in the tradition of her mother, respected actress Linda Christian. Her career started with the sexy film Menage all'italiana (1965). But then Romina really got our Italian breads rising with Marquis de Sade: Justine (1969), a shameless kinkfest where the bold young actress hung topless in the breeze while being mercilessly abused--which is still nothing compared to how we're abusing ourselves whenever we watch these scenes.
