Émigrée aux États-Unis, Renata Vanni y fait carrière au cinéma dans trente-quatre films américains (parfois en coproduction), les deux premiers sortis en 1949 — dont Corps et Âme de Curtis Bernhardt (avec Glenn Ford et Charles Coburn) —.

Robinson), ainsi que Un coin de ciel bleu (1965, avec Sidney Poitier et Elizabeth Hartman) et Une fois ne suffit pas (1975, avec Kirk Douglas et Alexis Smith), ces deux derniers réalisés par Guy Green.

Son dernier film est Wait Until Spring, Bandini de Dominique Deruddere (coproduction américano-européenne, avec Joe Mantegna et Ornella Muti), sorti en 1989.

After a weekend of emotional honesty at an Esalen-style retreat, Los Angeles sophisticates Bob and Carol Sanders (played by Robert Culp and Natalie Wood) return to their life determined to embrace complete openness. They share their enthusiasm and excitement over their new-found philosophy with their more conservative friends Ted and Alice Henderson (Elliott Gould and Dyan Cannon), though their friends remain doubtful. Soon after, Bob, a filmmaker, has an affair with a young, blonde production assistant on a film shoot in San Francisco. He admits this to Carol after arriving home, describing the event as a purely physical act, not an emotional one. To Bob's surprise, Carol is completely accepting of this. Later, Carol gleefully reveals the affair to Ted and Alice as they are leaving a dinner party. Alice is particularly disturbed both by Bob's infidelity, as well as Carol's candor, becoming physically ill on the drive home. She and Ted have a hard time coping with the news in bed later that evening. However, as time passes, they grow to accept that Bob and Carol really are fine with the affair. Later, Ted admits to Bob that he was tempted to have an affair once, but never went through with it; Bob tells Ted he should, rationalizing: "You've got the guilt anyway. Don't waste it.
