Marcello Vincenzo Domenico Mastroianni ( September 28 , 1924 – December 19 , 1996 ) was an Academy Award nominated Italian film Actor . Born in Fontana Liri, a small village in the Apennines , Mastroianni grew up in Turin and Rome . During World War II he was interned in a Nazi prison, but he escaped and hid in Venice . In 1945 he started working for a Film company, and began taking acting lessons. His film debut was in ''I Miserabili'' (from Victor Hugo 's '' Les Misérables '') in 1947 . He soon became a major international romantic star, starring in '' Big Deal On Madonna Street ''; and especially when Federico Fellini cast him in '' La Dolce Vita '' with Anita Ekberg in 1960 . He followed that with another signature role, that of a frustrated, womanizing film director in Fellini's '' 8½ ''. Mastroianni was married to the Italian actress Flora Carabella ( 1926 – 1999 ), who appeared in many films including "Lunatics and Lovers" and "A Night Full of Rain", from 1948 until his death; they had one child, Barbara.
