Italian sex siren of the late 50s and 60s best known for playing Helen of Troy on film and for her appearances in European sandal-and-spear spectacles.

After considering such established stars as Lana Turner, Elizabeth Taylor, Rhonda Fleming, Ava Gardner and Yvonne De Carlo for the lead in Helen of Troy (1956), director Robert Wise chose Podesta, an established actress but one who was relatively unknown outside of Italy.

As she would be surrounded by British actors, and to avoid a clash of accents and dialects among the characters, Wise employed a vocal coach to help her learn her lines by rote.
