An Italian and international icon who has made the history of world cinema, Sophia Loren is 90 years old.
A timeless icon on the national and international scene, Sophia Loren made history in world cinema, becoming one of the most famous and influential actresses worldwide from the 1960s onwards.
The Italian actress with French citizenship bewitched Hollywood thanks to her beauty and her ability to masterfully interpret roles ranging from comedy to drama.
Italian President Sergio Mattarella issued the following statement: “On the occasion of her birthday, I would like to send her my heartfelt best wishes, together with the Republic’s thanks for her extraordinary career as a film performer, marked by the attribution of numerous prestigious national and international awards.”
His message continued: “Her elegance, charm and inimitable acting have characterised a large number of Italian and foreign films, which have contributed to the best history of cinema, making her an image of Italian beauty and art in the world.”
Born in Italy, the 90-year-old began performing in pageants as a teen and by the age of 16 in 1950 she had kicked off her film career. It was that same year that she is believed to have met Carlo Ponti, who was 22 years older than her at 37.
He had long been separated from his wife but was not legally divorced because it was illegal in Italy, and the pair struck up a romance.
The actress, who has long been a cinema legend, really misses her former beauty. Previously, almost the entire male population of the planet dreamed about Sophia Loren, but now a woman is very rarely seen in public.
Recently, the actress appeared in public. Sophia Loren appeared at the restaurant opened by her beloved grandson. The elderly woman was wearing an elegant suit consisting of a white jacket and trousers. The artist’s neck was decorated with an impressive necklace. The elderly man could barely move, so assistants brought him onto the stage and then helped him down.
It is not clear why the venerable lady decided to go on stage if she has difficulty walking. But who can understand these women?
