Life and career
Born in Padua, after having had her film debut with a minor role in Ho sognato il paradiso and after having not been admitted to the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia, in 1951 Bovo had her breakthrough role winning the audition for the role of the awkward homeless Edvige in Vittorio De Sica's neorealist fantasy-comedy Miracle in Milan. One year later she got an equally important role, the newlywed dreamer Wanda in Federico Fellini's The White Sheik. In spite of the popularity gained with her early roles, Bovo's career continued mainly in B-movies, in which she was sometimes credited as Barbara Hudson. She was also active in television dramas. Her sister, Mariolina, was also an actress.
