Delia Boccardo on AllMovie

Italian actress Delia Boccardo was what publicity people usually dub an "international film actress." This is a catch-all term that usually translates to "she speaks seductively in an accent and looks terrific in low-cut gowns." Her first English-speaking appearance was as leading lady in Inspector Clouseau (1968) in which Alan Arkin briefly spelled Peter Sellers as the bumbling French detective. Additional European-filmed appearances by Boccacio include The Adventurers (1974) and Snow Job (1979). In the early 1980s, Delia Boccardo began to receive a few intriguing parts: she was Athena in the 1983 Hercules, starring Lou Ferrigno, while in the Russian/Italian coproduction Nostalgia (1983), she was the neglected wife of an inveterate romantic who ends up setting himself afire!
