Gloria Guida, forgive me but you have to clear up a doubt. In real life, which faction does he belong to? Bath or shower?
“The shower, all my life! It may be relaxing to take a bath, but I’ve never liked soaking in that water that always seems a little stagnant.”
On set he took so many showers…
“Yes, maybe I could have done less. But after so many years, do you know what I’m telling you? That shower, she has great thaumaturgical power. She is liberating: she makes things slide over you and protects you from malice, prejudice and envy. All things that have always made me suffer so much.”
Beautiful as the sun, Gloria Guida – The night nurse, In high school who has disturbed the sleep of more than one generation with his sexy comedies – he turns 68 on Sunday. And she spent almost forty-five together with Johnny DorelliDon Silvestro of Add a seat at the table who he married not once, but twice. “Johnny wanted it because he said that some things, the first time in the Municipality, had escaped him…”, he says while the sky threatens rain on the terrace full of flowers (“Just think, there are also the camellias that he gave me Raffaella Carrà”, he confides) in his beautiful house on Cassia, in the northern area of Rome. The good retirement of a couple in which almost 20 years of age difference have never weakened their love: “Not even now that ‘Dorellino’ no longer walks so well and always stays at home. But it wasn’t all rosy! Moving forward requires patience. And work hard to reopen doors that in such a long relationship inevitably sometimes close.”
How will you celebrate Sunday?
“With my daughter, my granddaughter, some friends and of course my husband. I have already ordered the cake and also the candle. A. I make no secret of my age, but just one instead of 68 makes me happier. I hope it brings me luck at work. Work, it may seem strange, which in this phase of life where people normally can’t wait to retire, I have rediscovered with passion. I care a lot about work.”
Johnny Dorelli, on the other hand, turns 87 in February. And for some time now, no more trips or boat holidays with him… Don’t you miss all this?
“Of course, it weighs. But we continue to have so much fun together. Let’s talk. We always have. We listen to music, we watch television together.”
Does Dorelli like this TV?
“Let’s say he watches sport more than anything else. All sports: boxing, cycling, tennis, football. And he remained the die-hard Inter fan he always was. He stays on the couch and cheers all the time.”
And what do you like to follow instead?
“Fiction, TV series. I find that there are some beautiful ones like Blanca. And finally, I made one too. She is titled Gigolo by chance, con Christian De Sicae Pietro Sermonti. A father-son duo in which the son takes the place of the father who was secretly a gigolo. I make a cameo: a famous actress in the Seventies and Eighties, who by force of circumstances is forced to get back into the game… We laugh a lot. It will be up Amazon Prime from 21 December”.
Autobiographical?
“Well, in fact I had been missing from the set for a long time too. And I found him so changed. The director was never physically there. He followed everything remotely, from a camper. Instead, when I started, especially in the films with Lino Banfi, it was a sea port. Even in the scenes, the famous ones with the key hole, I was never able to be a little alone. Once I got angry, the workers were all there: ‘Whoever has to work stays, everyone else is out’. Oh, no one moved!”
Didn’t it embarrass her?
“Seeing them again today, and you still see them a lot, they were truly innocent films. I was also tender, I was shy. I did this job because my father, who had a club on the Romagna Riviera in the summer and was a barman who won a lot of awards, pushed me to be an artist. I started out as a singer as a kid as a joke. Of course, I wanted to be a sales assistant.”

And instead she became a sex symbol. Was Dorelli jealous?
“Every now and then he asked me about some film: ‘But what about that one, did you really kiss him?’. As for jealousy, I think I’ve got it beat. He was super courted. He’s always been a guy charming and that women liked very much. I can understand them…”.
Speaking of women, you hosted for three years The girls and when they removed her from management she became very angry. The shower as therapy didn’t help her in that case.
“No way! I felt very bad about it. I had even chosen all the stage clothes. They gave me the news ten days after the first episode. And to say that the ratings were good. But the then director of Raitre decided that there was no need for anyone in the studio. Then, after a trial period, they took it Francesca Fialdini”.
What do you have left of that program?
“So many wonderful stories, some heartbreaking, others incredible, of women who were the mirror and strength of our country. And you know what I noticed the most? How fundamental the figure of the father had been for all of them. At every era. For better or for worse.”
What did your dad leave you?
“A great void. He was an amiable, cheerful man, very good at his job. But he also left me a cocktail with my name, ‘Gloria’. He said that he had had the ingredients in a dream. They didn’t get along very well with each other… But he didn’t get upset. And with Gloria he showed up at the world bartending championships. Result: he won, came in first place.”
Her father dedicated a cocktail to her. Is he her husband?
“A song: I woke up and you were there. It’s from the 1980s.”
She was and still is a very beautiful woman. When we interviewed Lino Banfi he said that his wife Lucia always said that only Edwige Fenech, among the actresses in her films, was not remade.
“Look, I’ve never used a scalpel. And I’m sorry about that Lino Banfi, who I love, only talk about Edwige and never remember me. That said: I’ve never done it again. It’s a question of DNA. If you go to Bologna and ring the doorbell of my mother, who is 92 years old, you would understand why. She would be opened by a lady who appears to be 20 years younger. Of course, I take care of the skin: pulsed light, radio frequency, suitable creams and daily skincare.”

And your daughter?
“Guendalina then, let’s not talk about it. She still looks like a little girl, despite having been Ginevra’s mother for 12 years. Grandma’s love”.
Has Ginevra ever seen your films?
“I don’t think so, and not because he would be scandalized. But because she’s caught up in her own things, she’s almost a little lady.”
And will he see the new fiction?
“I hope so. And in any case I have decided to enjoy this return to TV and live in the moment.”
Any other pebbles in your shoe?
“Let’s leave it alone… Then I’ll tell you again: I shower every day”.
