Sophia Loren, 86, Born In 1934 – Two Women
Originally Sophia Scicolone, the Sophia Loren we know well, was born in the ‘50s at the producer’s suggestion. The advice proved wise as she scored her breakout role with Vittorio De Sica’s The Gold of Naples. Come the ‘60s, Loren stood among international cinema’s most sought after leading ladies.
There was one thing she was unwilling to change to achieve fame through; her looks. Loren refused to get a nose job early in her career despite comments that hers looked ‘too long.’ Her confidence in her own skin still shines today as she makes a return to the screen in The Life Ahead.
