Gia Scala (3 March 1934 – 30 April 1972) was an English-born actress and model of Italian and Irish descent.
She was born Giovanna Scoglio in Liverpool, England, to a Sicilian father, Pietro Scoglio, and an Irish mother, Eileen Sullivan. She had one sister, Tina Scala, also an actress.
Scala lived in Rome, and moved to the United States at age fourteen where she studied and worked in New York City. She graduated from Bayside High School in Queens, New York. For a time she was undecided on what to do next. She worked in New York as a filing clerk for an insurance company and as a reservation clerk for Scandinavian Airlines.
Scala studied acting at night and made appearances on some radio shows and television quiz shows. At the end of 1954 an agent had her tested for the role of Mary Magdalene in a movie which was to be made called The Gallileans. She did not get the part but was signed to contracts by both Universal Studios and Columbia Pictures in Hollywood. Using the stage name "Gia Scala", she made her motion picture debut in 1955. This came in All That Heaven Allows with Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson.

What're You Waiting For
It was the last time we went out
I was rolling down the window
You said there was no better escape than to be with you
To run away isn't escape
But baby, what're you running from?
I've got my hopes set high
Living for so much more
Going for the encore
Something that I will say
Don't give up
Tell me what it's good for
To run is to ignore
Something that I will say
Don't give up
Love when I find you
Truth when I see you
Grace when I trust you
Love in my life
and there is no one else I would rather
Put all my love, my faith, and my trust in God.
What're you waiting for my love
Don't you know it will be alright, alright
Let me tell you that there is no better escape
Than the one I've found
I ran away
and tried to escape
But in my pain he was what I found
I've got my hopes set high
Living for so much more
Going for the encore
Something that I will say
Don't give up
Tell me what it's good for
To run is to ignore
Something that I will say
Don't give up
Love when I find you
Truth when I see you
Grace when I trust you
Love in my life
and there is no one else I would rather
