Seen as one of the first cinematic sex symbols, Sophia Loren's charisma and voluptuous figure attracted many admirers. Yet her life away from the cameras may surprise some—she was married to Carlo Ponti, film producer, throughout her career and until his recent death. She also struggled to become a mother and considered her two children her greatest accomplishment. Loren came from impoverished roots to become possibly the greatest Italian actress of her time. Her many films included Houseboat; Two Women, for which she won an Academy Award; The Fall of the Roman Empire; and The Millionairess. She also loved to sing, adding to her sex appeal with her seductive voice. Sophia Loren: A Life in Pictures illustrates the variety and contrasts in Loren's private and public persona, with wonderful pictures and an incisive biography.

This review is from: Sophia Loren: A Life in Pictures (Hardcover)
Nothing heavy or biographically, historically intellectual about this. Just a beautiful volume of pix of a goddess - or at least my goddess. Sophia is the love of my life in image; nothing, in that regard, changing in 50 years. Now in my dotage, she in old age, Ponti dead, I can write of my love, ha! Here we have this legacy of lovely, touching, gentle photos of her in a range from high celeb contexts through quiet peaceful home life.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sophia Loren: A Life in Pictures (Hardcover)
From the display page it is hard to tell the number and range of photos, but there are a lot. I wish I had bought this sooner.
