- Plinio Fernando was born on September 15, 1947 in Tunis, French Protectorate of Tunisia [now Tunisia]. He is an actor, known for Fantozzi (1975), Fantozzi in Heaven (1993) and Fantozzi contro tutti (1980).
- For years he has portrayed the character of 'Mariangela', Fantozzi's daughter in the popular Italian Fantozzi series, with Paolo Villaggio. The part required that Fantozzi's little daughter was so ugly that only a man could portray her. Because of this character, the nickname 'Mariangela' (which besides is a quite common female name in Italy) became popular during the late 70s, 80s and partly the 90s in Italy, to indicate a girl who was not exactly a beauty.
