Minnie Minoprio (born 4 July 1942) is an English actress, singer and showgirl, mainly active in Italy.
Born Virginia Anne Minoprio in Ware, Hertfordshire, Minoprio after graduating from the Arts Educational School, where she studied acting and singing, debuted at 15 in a stage version of "Cinderella". Two years later moved in Italy where she starred in the revue Io e Margherita, alongside Walter Chiari.
At the same time she began a career as a jazz singer, recording a music album of dixieland and collaborating with other musicians; just with a duet with another singer, Fred Bongusto, she obtained in 1971 her major discographic success, the song "Quando mi dici così", which ranked 20 in the Italian hit parade. Her variegated career also includes radio, television, cinema and two novels, Il passaggio (1992) and Benvenuti a bordo (2007).
