Delia Scala, pseudonimo di Odette Bedogni (Bracciano, 25 settembre 1929 – Livorno, 15 gennaio 2004), è stata un’attrice, showgirl e ballerina italiana, il cui nome è legato alla stagione pionieristica della televisione da intrattenimento. Proveniente dalla danza classica, diede una nuova statura artistica alla figura della soubrette. A differenza infatti delle primedonne che l’avevano preceduta, talvolta semplici indossatrici di un vistoso guardaroba, era un’artista poliedrica in grado di ballare, cantare e recitare a ottimi livelli.^[1]
