Born in Rimini, Italy, Gabel entered the cinema industry as Sophia Loren's body double. Between 1957 and 1967 she appeared, often as the female lead actress, in dozens of films, but failed to emerge because of the stereotyped roles.[1] Starting from late sixties she focused her activity on stage and television, in which she found most significant roles and critical appreciation.[1]
Gabel married Piero Schivazappa in 1968; they had one child.[2]
In 1999, Gabel's 87 year-old father was stabbed five times in the chest by a female tenant in his villa when she refused to vacate the premises. He died soon afterwards.[3]
