Actress Sophia Loren has in his piggy bank all the possible awards for the role in the movie. She is the owner of two Oscar statuettes, and is also recognized as one of the most beautiful women of the world of all time.
Italian actress Sophia Loren
To the cinematic biography, Sophia Loren came from the world of beauty contests. She was born on September 20, 1934 in Rome, the capital of Italy. However, when the girl was 4 years old, the family moved to a small settlement of Pozzuoli. It is here that Sophia Loren first enters the stage and wins the title of the local beauty queen. After this, the girl (the real name Sophia Loren - Villani Shikolone) goes to conquer the metropolitan audience. "Miss Italy" she could not become, but the girl received the prize and the title of "Miss Elegance", which was established by the jury specifically for Sophie. It is at beauty contests that film directors notice her, and also Lauren's acquaintance with her future husband and producer, Carlo Ponti, is occurring here.
The first roles of Sophia Loren were not too successful, however they attracted a lot of attention because of the bold play of the actress, who was not afraid to take bare air in front of the camera. At that time, Sophie appeared in the credits under the name Lazarro, but after the pseudonym was changed at the insistence of Carlo Ponty.
The career of the actress developed, and in the 1950s and 1960s she became one of Italy's most famous stars. The success of Sophia Loren brought roles in such films as "Chochara" (1961, for which Sophia Loren was the first of the foreign actresses to receive the Oscar statuette), "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow" (1963), "Marriage in Italian" (1964) , "Sunflowers" (1970). Sophia Loren's style in these films shows us an energetic Italian woman, although initially Carlo Ponty positioned Sophie as a real sex bomb of Italy. The first film, released on foreign screens, in which Sophia Loren played, was "Attila" (1954). The actress was actively and much starred in Hollywood, but the most popular films were brought by her, shot by Italian filmmakers.
Sophia Loren worked actively until the late 1970s, then she begins to appear on the screens less and less. However, on the actress's account there are two more autobiographical books, a television film about her life, as well as shooting for the Pirelli calendar of 2007, in which 72-year-old Sophie appeared in her underwear and made a splash with her magnificent appearance.
Biography Sophia Loren - personal life
Although Sophia Loren was universally recognized as a sex symbol, and in the movies she managed to cooperate with the most beautiful men of her time, there was only one true love in her life. It was the husband of Sophia Loren - Carlo Ponty. Although he was older than his wife for 22 years, and also much lower than her height (the growth of Sophia Loren is 174 cm), nevertheless, they lived in marriage almost half a century before the death of Carlo.
However, not everything was smooth in their family life. At the time of Sophie Carlo's acquaintance, Ponti was married, and according to Catholic traditions, divorce is almost impossible. The couple tried to reach a formal decision for a long time, but, unable to withstand the lawsuits, Sophie and Carlo secretly married in Mexico. And only in 1966, after receiving the formal dissolution of the first marriage, their union was legalized by all rules.
Another test that fell to the share of Sophie and Carlo became a problem with the birth of children. Sophia Loren had two unsuccessful pregnancies that ended in miscarriages. Then the actress for a long time was treated for infertility . Attempts to become pregnant all the same have crowned success. Sophia Loren has two children: Carlo Ponti, Jr. (born in 1968) and Eduardo Ponti (born in 1973).
