Dominique Jacqueline Angèle Boschero (born 27 April 1937) is a French-Italian retired actress.

Life and career

Boschero was born in Paris in 1937, the daughter of Italian parents. The surname 'Boschero' is an italianization of the Occitan surname 'Bosquier'. Shortly before the outbreak of World War II, her parents sent her to live with her grandparents in Frassino, Piedmont. She lived there until the age of 15, when she returned to Paris. She entered showbusiness as a model and a showgirl at the La Nouvelle Ève cabaret.

After debuting on stage and in films in the mid-1950s, in 1960 she moved back in Italy, where she became a star of genre films, with occasional performances in dramatic and humorous roles. In the 1970s she slowed her activities, retiring in the mid-1970s. In 1989, Boschero briefly left retirement to star in the soap opera Passioni.

In 2024, Manni published a biography of Boschero, La ragazza occitana: Vita movimentata di Dominique Boschero.

Personal life

She currently lives in Frassino.

Boschero was romantically involved with actor Claudio Camaso and singer Franco Califano.

During the late, Boschero befriended French Occitan politician François Fontan.
