I am not Italian but I grew up watching Italian TV. All the movies, all the concerts , shows . It was like i was watching my country's TV. Italy was the only country that kept us connected with the western world. Albania is so close to Italy and most of Albanians speak Italian. I always admired Sofia Loren. Watching her movies took me to another world. God bless her. God bless Italy.
In addition to this honorary Oscar--30 years after Loren won for Two Women--it fills me with such joy to watch the standing ovation she received, most importantly perhaps the actresses in the audience who just looked at Loren almost spellbound by her beauty and talent. You can see in their faces that they are witnessing an icon of film. What a display of ultimate respect and admiration shown by so many others in the audience. Sophia, you are a gem. Brava, Sophia Nazionale.
The looks on the faces of all those young actresses touched me too. I believe they find Ms. Loren not just an icon, but a woman who reached the pinnacle of her profession through sheer hard work and talent (and good choices). That is inspiring to them.
no-no-no-no. Beautiful, sexy, but not classic. Not with her nose. Explain. How is she an inspiration to all women? I want to hear why you said that...lol.
Carlo Ponti Jr. attended USC where he majored in classical music...He is now a symphony conductor who regularly appears throughout Southern California...
My God, the first women I ever fell in love with! The class, the beauty, and a body that drove this 62 year old man crazy. She is the reason I watched foreign films as a kid. All my love and respect for you Ms.Loren!!
The favorite of my good friend, a young priest at that time, now an archbishop. Not for lascivious reasons, but because he was an expert on Ancient Greek arts and culture. Sophia Loren, the epitome of classical beauty!
I am not Italian, but I love Italy, one country that I have visited 3 times in my life. There are so many things in Italy to be proud, culture, food, places, but Sophia is a great italian icon. God Bless this great country and mine too.
Sorry, but your statement doesn’t really make sense. 1. Proud to be a “biological coincidence”? It’s not that you choose to be born Italian, now is it? You could have been born Bangladeshi for the same part 2. It’s not that you’re her father or teacher... so how can you be proud of someone whom you don’t know personally? 3. See 1.
I was captivated by this beautiful and talented Italian woman as a child. Recently saw Two Women and was staggered by her talent. She richly deserved this honour.
She made movies with some of the greatest of them all: John Wayne, Clark Gable, Alan Ladd, Burt Lancaster, Frank Sinatra, Charlton Heston, was an extra in one Robert Taylor movie, Qvo Vadis.
As Loren aficianados are aware, she and Gregory Peck co-starred in Stanley Donen's film "Arabesque" in 1966 and had great chemistry. Loren is still making movies and going strong.
What a stunner. They don't make them like her any more. Such a shame there will never be another golden age. When men were men and woman were woman. Total class!
Miss Loren was one of the three greatest actresses of the last sixty years. Combining both great beauty and talent. The other two were Vivian Leigh and Elizabeth Taylor.
To those of you who think people like Minaj, Swift, Gaga, Beyoncé, et al are beautiful or talented, beware. You are about to experience a level of beauty and elegance, of refined sophistication and manners unlike anything you've ever seen. Put your googles on and set yourself ready for Heavy Stun. A lady is coming on stage of the type you'll never really understand.
Princess Targaryen...At least TRY and comprehend what has been said here. TRY and understand what you have just seen. Not Beyonce nor the rest of the gaggle mentioned (or unmentioned) can touch the hem of Sophia Loren's garment...not Yesterday, not Today and not Tomorrow. Molte Gracie Ronald McReynolds!
Must say sohpia Lauren, marylin monroe, audrey Hepburn, jaclyn smith, brigette bardot & aishwarya rai are the most beautiful women inside and outside ever to be. So natural x
I'll take Gina, and I don't know if she's the most beautiful woman of all time, but I think she has more beauty and definitely more sex appeal that Sophia. You'd like to be in bed with Gina. Sophia you'd like to have around the house so you could gaze at her now and then like a sculpture. There both beautiful, no doubt about that, but Gina,for me, is more desireable.
She came to see my/our show in Paris...wanted to know if my hair was real or a wig! Mine is real. Sophia always wore wigs. Her beauty shall remain unmatched.
Sophia is exactly what she said about herself - "I'm OK". She is real woman (despite some corrections on her face, but for her profession they are necessary). She is earthy, sensible and faithful. The real charm and beauty in the world of cinema is Marilyn Monroe, though. She is the one.
Assolutamente no prima di lei ci sono attrici di rara bellezza ma no la Moore. Potrei fare un'elenco chilometrico. Di certo era bella . Quando c'era Sofia le altre sparivano e lo sapevano anche le colleghe di tutto il mondo.
@@gabriellaamatucci9079 I don't think there is contradiction with my opinion. She is not natural beauty, but her character made her beautiful. Not the Nature. As Coco Chanel said - "At older age we get the face we deserve". I like Sophia too, but my favorite is Gina Lollobrigida. But ALL of them are beautiful. Nothing can compare to them now. Beauty, charm, talent...all this is in the past, gone.... We can be just grateful to them for the STANDART of beauty they set up.
è un'attrice immensa. Ma avrei tanto voluto un oscar anche per Marcello Nastroianni. è stato candidato tre volte ( Divorzio all'italiana, Una giornata particolare e Oci ciornie) e purtroppo non ha mai vinto. Ma una carriera costellata di successi come la sua meritava un Oscar onorario. ( non dimentichiamo La dolce vita, Otto e mezzo, Ieri oggi e domani, tutti film osannati in tutto il mondo e alcuni anche vincitori di Oscar). Peccato!
She is Beautiful and a good example of a woman, She married the director Carlo Ponti. what a great couple together since the beginning. Her sons are very handsome take after her mother.
She´s one of a kind! A true super star! Pure elegance and Beauty align with great acting skills! She was my father´s fav next after my mother of course :-)
I wonder if girls today would see her and think, "What is that large object in the middle of her face?" It's a nose. A perfectly good, natural nose that suits this gorgeous woman perfectly.
Strange comment. Beauty standards are not made up by girls themselves, but society and media. Girls thinking they need to do something to look 'acceptable' are merely a product by society and its beauty ideals.
Cassandra Fín I didn't exactly say that girls themselves are in control of beauty standards. What I meant was that after being subjected to an onslaught of surgically altered stars, especially enlarging some things (breasts, lips) and reducing other things (nose), girls might be puzzled by the success and popularity of Sophia, a natural beauty of another era.
A Krenwinkle My ex-wife said for years that her nostrils were too large and she wanted surgery. They seemed fine to me, and I took it as a whimsy. Then we separated for six months and when we reconnected I immediately saw she had ruined herself with surgery. I burst into tears. Women are responsible for keeping their insecurities in check. Nobody forces them to buy into fashion industry bullshit; certainly not most husbands.
With all the lovely women in the world, well, there's really just Sophia Loren. Sometimes I try to think if any other star is comparable. Nope. Not even in the ball park.
I met Carlo Ponti and the two sons in Venice, spoke to them 5 minutes. Extraordinary people , their grace, humble people and beauty.
Envy you ..
That's Italian friendliest compassionate people
Sophia Loren is an Italian icon, a talent, and a beauty icon too. Elegance distinguish her everywhere. What a great woman.

Maybe so but she's also ugly to the bone. Horrible person!

A class actress all the way, Miss Sophia Loren, what handsome sons
As Loren aficianados are aware, she and Gregory Peck co-starred in Stanley Donen's film "Arabesque" in 1966 and had great chemistry. Loren is still making movies and going strong.
Beatiful and stunning Sophia Loren. Is a classic beauty.
What a stunner. They don't make them like her any more. Such a shame there will never be another golden age. When men were men and woman were woman. Total class!
So gorgeous Sophia then and even now, she did alot of good films I enjoyed all of them,
Sophia’s eyes radiate her inner beauty!❤❤❤
Miss Loren was one of the three greatest actresses of the last sixty years.
