Moira Orfei (Italian pronunciation: [ˈmɔira orˈfɛi]; born Miranda Orfei; 21 December 1931 – 15 November 2015) was an Italian circus performer, actress and television personality of remote Romani origins.

She was photographed in various scenes as a rider, trapeze artist, acrobat, dominatrice of elephants and trainer of doves.

[3] From then on, her face became an effigy of unchanging characteristics: heavy make-up with eyes coated with eyeliner, bright lipstick, an accentuated mole above the lip, hair tied in a turban.

On 4 August 2006, Moira Orfei suffered an ischemic stroke during a show in Gioiosa Ionica.

The artist was still under medical care when she died nine years later from natural causes on 15 November 2015 in Brescia, Italy.
