Anna Menzio (3 June 1905 – 11 November 1994), known by her stage name Wanda Osiris (; Italianized as Vanda Osiri during the Fascist era), was an Italian revue soubrette, actress and singer. Life and career Born in Rome, the daughter of a groom, she studied violin at a young age. She debuted on stage in 1923, in the revue ''Osvaldo mio mi fai morire''.
