Life and career
Born in San Gregorio nelle Alpi, Doria studied music, painting and sculpture since young age. She made her critical acclaimed film debut in Piccolo hotel, which premiered at the 1939 Venice International Film Festival and got reviews in which she was paired to Katharine Hepburn. Following the overthrow of Benito Mussolini's government in 1943 she and her husband went to work in the film industry of the pro-German Italian Social Republic in Venice, for which she was criticized after the Second World War ended. In the following years she was mainly cast in character roles, and occasionally worked on stage and on television.
