Luisa Cerasoli from Rome, Italy: "I only understand Italian, not English"  
Luisa is a 21-year-old model whom Garry secretly assists for her 'yes' and 'no' responses.  She and two other young Italian models (Elsa Martinelli and Iris Bianchi) are part of a whirlwind tour of the US that serves two purposes.  They work for Rome's fashion house Sorelle Fontana ("Fontana Sisters") and are modeling the company's latest looks in major cities across the country.  They are also promoting the English-language Italian film Three Girls From Rome (1952) a comedy-drama which heavily features the actual Fontana workshop studios.  Although the film is about three models, and these three models appear in the film as models, they do not play the titular trio.  As Lili Cerasoli, Luisa would appear in a handful of Italian films over the next few years.  Her colleague Elsa Martinelli became a quite successful actress, part of the generation of acting Italian beauties that included Sophia Loren and Gina Lollobrigida.  A clip of this secret is featured on the fourth anniversary show ( E192 ).
