Desanka "Beba" Lončar (Serbian Cyrillic: Десанка „Беба“ Лончар, born 28 April 1943 in Belgrade, German-occupied Serbia) is a former Yugoslav film actress. She appeared in 52 films between 1960 and 1982. She was born in Belgrade, Serbia. Known for her film career during the 1960s and 1970s, she first became a star in native Yugoslavia before moving to Italy where she achieved considerable success. Lončar got involved with performing at an early age. During the late 1950s she was given on-camera speaking bits in kids' and youth programmes on the recently launched TV Belgrade. She studied acting under tutelage of director Soja Jovanović who gave Lončar her film debut — an uncredited bit part in 1960's Diližansa snova. Lončar's acting break came with getting cast alongside another pair of first-time film performers—twenty-year-old Boris Dvornik and fifteen-year-old Dušica Žegarac—in France Štiglic's Deveti krug, a Holocaust story produced by Jadran Film about a Jewish family from Zagreb that would go on to achieve notable critical success. Before Deveti krug was even released, sixteen-year-old Lončar landed her first lead role—the part of a beautiful young girl Sonja Ilić in the teenage comedy Ljubav i moda produced by Avala Film. Lončar's career in the Italian cinema began in 1964 when she got cast by Mauro Bolognini for his segment within La donna è una cosa meravigliosa , a three-segment film. At only twenty-one years of age she moved to Rome and continued acting in Italian films.
