Opening-credits: Sandra Mei as Alexia May; Alessia as Alissia
Lessa.
There is also a credit for a 'Rossana'. I went through this with
several fine-tooth combs and an Army Search-and-Rescue team. All
the sex-role females are credited and accounted-for. There are only
two other roles, Helen's [intermittent interview, and brief les,
with Brigitta] and a news-reporter. I suggest that the reporter is
'Chicca'; neither she nor the name appears in 'Notte Proibita'
while Helen and the name do- and [sorry, Texxx] I'm afraid I'm more
than a little sceptical about the 'Chicca de Boor' credit for 'Vita
in Vendita', but I'll take another look when I have time:

As to Rossana, the known female cast precede the males in the listing-
and Rossana comes at the very end. This circumstantially suggests it
to be a male name, although a brief Google failed to elicit any
supporting evidence for this contention. Howsoever, for the sake of
a quiet life I will assume that it's either a male name; or a female
role of such minuscule signifcance in the film that she was relegated
to following the male cast and has a part so nugatory that I failed
to spot her despite the fingertip-search conducted by my 'team'.

I also had to work quite hard to convince myself that Helen is the
same woman in both the above- I'll reserve discussion of this and
of Rossana vs. Rossana [2] for a forthcoming post on 'NP'.

A [very] few caps:

Take a look at this Unknown Female 52075 maybe credited as Chicca de Oro

She should be the same as Chicca
