Biography[edit]

Mattioli worked as a cashier at Doney's, a cafe on the Via Veneto in Rome, Italy prior to becoming an actress. After enrolling in film school, she traveled to England, where she found work in the television and movie industries.[3]

Mattioli met Roger Moore in 1961 while filming Romulus and the Sabines. Moore was married to Dorothy Squires at the time,[4] and Squires refused to divorce him. Moore and Mattioli ultimately lived together for eight years, and became the parents of two children before Squires relented. Following his divorce, Moore and Mattioli were married on 11 April 1969. They subsequently became the parents of a third child.[5] Their three children were: Deborah, Geoffrey and Christian.[6][7]

Moore and Mattioli subsequently separated in 1993 and were divorced in 2000.[8]
