I've never heard of her...but boy, she had a long birth name!
// She was born Caterina Irene Elena Maria Imperiali de Principi di Francavilla on 29 May 1926 in a Florentine palace that had once belonged to the Italian royal family.//
Yes. She was part of my childhood years and I remember she used to handle the awkward silences during the voting in the Eurovision Somg Contrst, very well. RIP.
I wonder which palace she was born in?
She presented Eurovision the year Abba won (it was held in Brighton, as Luxembourg had won 2 years in a row and couldn't afford to do it again) in fact looking up a list of past presenters I see Angela Rippon did it in 1977!
