Life and career edit
Born in Quetta (Present day Pakistan) to a British father and an Anglo-Burmese mother, Dexter entered the film industry in 1963, when during a vacation in Rome she met director Ugo Gregoretti who offered her a significant role in his science fiction film Omicron. She then became a very active actress until the mid-seventies, when she retired from acting at age 32.[1]
She was found dead in her house in Recanati, in September 2010; she had long been suffering from illness.[2]
