Anna Maria Alberghetti (Italian: [ˈanna maˈriːa alberˈɡetti]; born May 15, 1936) is an Italian-American actress and soprano.

Alberghetti began working in American films at age 15 with Frank Capra's 1951 musical Here Comes the Groom.

Born May 15, 1936, in Pesaro, Marche, in central Italy, she starred on Broadway and won a Tony Award in 1962 as Best Actress (Musical) for Carnival!

[1][2] At 15, she was introduced to American film audiences in Frank Capra's 1951 musical Here Comes the Groom, which starred Bing Crosby.

Her family's new life in the U.S. was aided by a Congressional bill, passed in August 1954, sponsored by Nevada senator Pat McCarran—because her father "admitted he had been an 'involuntary fascist'" during WWII.

Alberghetti also appeared in 1955's The Last Command, which starred Sterling Hayden, and had the female lead in the Western Duel at Apache Wells in 1957.

She was cast as part of a gang of Comancheros who intend to attack the wagon train to steal rifles headed to the United States Army.

Instead, she decides to leave the Comancheros and move west after she falls in love with scout Flint McCullough, played by Robert Horton.

She guest-starred on The Andy Williams Show on March 28, 1963 and performed on The Hollywood Palace variety program's episode of May 2, 1964.
