“I've never tried to block out the memories of the past, even though some are painful. I don't understand people who hide from their past. Everything you live through helps to make you the person you are now.” -Sophia Loren.. watch Jayne Mansfield NEXT th-cam.com/video/p8gzCnz4h-0/w-d-xo.html
I'd never thought I say this but that quote is a bit hard to swallow, for now. But it is true, everything you go through shapes who you are as a person. This just reminds me of your other video about getting trigger in your other channel. It's a learning journey to get there but regardless, chose to see the beauty and joy in any way that you can. Thank you for the great content Karine. Hope you're doing well love 🥰😘💗
@@sheng3229 aww thank you love! The other video was so healing for me. I’m glad you enjoyed it ♥️😘
@@KarineAlourde you're like a mentor, I'm so glad that there are people like you out here and so many of other wonderful people. 💝
@@KarineAlourde I like the quote ; it reveals the huge chasm and differences between the socialisation of priveleged women and expectation of ordinary housewives .
While these young starlets had time to muse ,dream and plan a future other less fortunate mortals blacked out at the horror of societies treatment of then in general and even when they did have a second to look back and reminisce it wasn't all wine ,women and song !!
Love this beautiful and talented actress!!! Viva Sophia!
my husband met her once briefly and he told me that Sophia is so beautiful he couldn't even breathe.
I know a man who met her when she was in her 50s and he said his knees were knocking -- like your hubby he said she took your breath away
Im from italy. She’s definitely not just known for her looks, but also for her acting skills as a great actress
She is a terrific actress who also happens to be gorgeous.
I met Sophia Loren in person it was in the 1980’s and I was a teenager. I can honestly say that none of the pictures do her justice, in person she is ‘breathtakingly beautiful’ and I don’t say that lightly. If she walked into any department store the entire store would come to a standstill as everyone would want to catch a glimpse of her, stunning stunning woman!
I also heard from some of the crew that Cary Grant could not stop drooling over her when they weren’t filming.
I’m sorry to hear what she had to go through in regards to the fake porn photos for a woman with such integrity it would have been embarrassing for her in front of her 2 sons and grand children.
So neat!
Thats amazing you're so lucky!
Not sure about porn, but there are genuine nude photos of her from before fame. She did what she had to do for fame and fortune, just like all the other actresses of the time.
Wow. And i dont think she even reached her peak of beauty until her 50's i love her. Strong gorgeous regal lady.
Wow! Now that was an awesome experience.... Amazing!
Sophia Loren was born illegitimate which was a HUGE disgrace in her day. Her father was an on again off again lover of her mother's and refused to acknowledge Sophia as his child and would not give her his name. it was a huge humiliation for Sophia's childhood. He did the same thing for the second child. Her father would disappear for months/years and then show up again like nothing happened and stupidly, her mother would take him back. Sophia's mother/family fought him legally - it was a big deal - to recognize Sophia as his child and eventually won. But again, he refused paternity for the second child and when sophia was an adult and wealthy enough, she paid her father to acknowledge paternity of her sister. Her father was a major jerk and loser.
@@melianna999 they were dirt poor and the father brought home nothing all.
@@melianna999it’s called motherly love. Mom couldn’t aspire to be famous like her daughter. Not to even mention the war that put her and her family in desperate times.
@@anastasia10017 I red her two books.
He was a narcissist
@@melianna999I do not think she (Sophia) had any problems with becoming a film-star. But you sound as you have some issues with her biography and life.
She is so elegant & strong. It’s nice to hear about a leading lady who didn’t succumb to tragedy or the pressures of Hollywood or fame. She is a tough, smart & beautiful lady!
I really miss when clothes were nice. Today, even "luxury" clothes are so ugly!
The fact that she thrived in the golden age of Hollywood relatively free of scandal and now getting caught up in the vices and men that doomed other beautiful female leads is very remarkable. Goes to show if you have a solid head on your shoulders, you can get along far - even in a cess pool like Hollywood
Italian cultural values and religion is taken seriously regarding one’s reputation
The solid head was Carlo Ponti not Sophia Loren's. If it wasn't for him the Italian director and film maker she married at a very tender young age she would have ended up like her mother, used and abused by men, with illegitimate children of her own as well. Ponti gave Sophia her stardom and her life. She is very fortunate he did the right thing by her because she was sleeping with him well before they were married. Ponti already had a wife and children. Hmm seems that didn't bother Sophia. Ponti could have had his jollies with her and cast her aside, but he didn't, she got lucky.
Good for her putting her foot down and embracing her natural beauty. It still blows my mind that people think it's okay to tell others to get plastic surgery. Sophia is absolutely stunning!
I’m glad Sophia Loren didn’t buckle in to plastic surgery to “fix her features”! She’s such a gorgeous woman.
she has def had many cosmetic surgeries over time. very few admit it. wake up.
@@berniesmith5123 I think grew into her features hence why she got more beautiful with age.
hello? are you too young, too naive or totally blinded by the publicity?
take the shades off
@@berniesmith5123 Im not denying that she could have, but its hard to tell as if you study her films in stills you can also make the case for growing into her features. She has a distinctive profile.
I love that she never "fixed" her nose, it is unfortunate that many woman feel the pressure that they should have a little perfect nose and conform to a very specific Disney princess type of face instead of embracing their unique beauty
The DIsney princess look is a dime a dozen.
This women eas the EPITOMY of CONFIDENCE. She knew herself..knew she was gorgeous and was not letting hollywood or anyone tear her down. People should def live this way!!❤
Yes, the typical confidence of peple born and bread in the fish market; She is far away for being classy. Girsl who spend most of her time in the street have that sort of confidence
@@silviabarellini6041 um first of all, lets not be negative ab people we've never met. She was classy and didn't show a lot of skin unlike the blond that showed up at her party. But honestly girls on the streets.. are the very opposite of confident. They're usually insecure w low confidence hence why they are 'in the streets'. I could explain more but i don't have the time. Every girl should have that type of strength and confidence to not be controlled by opinion.
She is beyond beautiful. The epitomy of glamour. Sophisticated & totally unique. ☺
After looking at some younger pics of my grandma, I was surprised by the resemblance of her all the way down to the hair, eye color, and height. I asked if anyone had ever pointed this out to her before. Smileing sheepishly, she diped her head, saying, "Oh, yes I believe I did hear that on occasion" . Lol it was so cute.
I have a niece that looks like her But, I have to say my niece is prettier. No exageration.
Her beauty was so different and unique omgggg!!!😍😍
Sophia Loren is still so beautiful. I can see why Michael Jackson was crazy about her.
Imagine being friends with her and Elizabeth Taylor!
@@Luckimee Sofia Vergara should play her in a biopic.
@Benita Rodriguez you know I never thought about thank you.
Aaahhh He was crazy about Elizabeth Taylor not Sofia Loren
@@cmAwesome207 yeah that's right but he also was crazy about Sophia Loren too.
one thing I kind of like about many of these women from this time, they were a bit thick in the right places, and this may seem controversial, but the women back then seem to show a healthy figure not that heroin chic look.
No, it's not controversial at all. Marilyn Monroe (size 16) would be considered to have a high BMI these days.
@@dumfriesspearhead7398 Marilyn 118 pound 5'5/5 tall can newer be size 16 she is between size 0 to size 2 ,check your facts Marilyn had 23 inch belly thats too small
@@dumfriesspearhead7398 size 16 in old uk sizing not US lol
I have always thought she was one of the most stunning actress ever. Timeless beauty.
And also an exceptional actress in my humble opinion.
When I was a kid, people used to stare at my mom because she resembled Sophia Loren. I’ve always loved her!
My mum and myself too. I can see that watching Sophia's pictures when she was younger.
Later on she was "made in Hollywood" by stylist and so on.
It’s crazy how Hollywood want everyone to look the same. The Iconic beauties kept their natural features
Unique beauty, she cannot ever be mistaken for anyone else🌻
This is true. When I met her she was very attractive, outwardly as well as inwardly.
Linda Evangelista reminds of Sofia Loren Great Video
It's interesting that Evangelista's parents are from the same place in Italy.
I love that she's happy and enjoys life.
She has an exceptional kind of beauty. Just gorgeous
Back when natural beauty was so beautiful vs today unrealistic of everything
I’ve been waiting for this one! I love Sophia Loren, she’s one of the most stunning leading ladies, imo.
Carey Grant's wife, Betsy Drake, wrote Houseboat and was supposed to be the lead actress; when Grant's affair with Sophia, he had his wife fired and had Houseboat rewritten for Sophia. Then when it came time to film the movie Sophia had already broken up with Carey, and he was divorced, thinking that Sophia would marry him. He was bitter and angry with her on the set. The same thing happened with Peter Sellers. Not only did they have to film a movie together, but they also had to record the song for the movie together, and he was also bitter and angry and divorced his wife for her. Not trashing S. L., I also believe she led many of these A-listers. They were wrong for cheating on their spouses, and she was terrible for letting them think they had a chance with her. Knowing that her heart always belonged to Carlos. My favorite movie is TWO WOMEN. If you have never seen it, I think you should. Her acting is just powerful. I loved all her Italian movies, and Houseboat is still my favorite American movie. I also had the privilege of meeting her and Carlos when I was a teenager.
Just because the lady is old now , don't mean you can't drag her for filth .I already knew all about her when I saw her surrounded by all those men . I'm not surprised in the least she didn't respect marriage and cheated with those actors , how easy just to think it's all pretend it's all part of the plan and tough for the wives whos lives were ruined . Neither do I feel sorry for Grant I thought he was in the closet anyway so she'd be getting the same man eventually.😢
Alot of her movies were overlooked in favour of Vivien Leigh and Liz Taylor. I got the impression that there was a reason I hadn't seen her movies on repeat .
I agree her and carlo were very strategic, it was part of them conquering Hollywood.
You are right, you do not play with people's feelings. Personally you should shave your underarm hair if you are wearing sleeveless , or evening dresses. If not, don't.
She Owed LOSERS Nothing! If they leave a Faithful Wife for Fun. They DESERVE WHAT THEY GET! Bravo Loren!
@@G.G.276 she is 100% culpable and a homewrecker . A femme fatale and seductress , because the European gypsy genes reveal themselves eventually .You. Cannot buy class
Her eyes are mesmerizing
Her eyes are so gorgeous; she is stunning!
Your videos brings happiness in an otherwise uninteresting life. If possible, please make a video on Sridevi and Silk Smita. As a South Indian, these 2 were such icons. Although I am a recent subscriber, I’ve watched all your videos in a day 😂❤
Aww 🥰 thank you love! And both ladies are on my list ❤❤
@@KarineAlourde yass
O please please please do a video about Sridevi the most beautiful Bollywood actress
shamefully addicted to ur old hollywood series ♡
I loved her as an actress since childhood. She always was a stunning beauty.
Out of all the background sound tracks, I absolutely LOVE when you use this one. It so fitting for these types of videos when discussing vintage hollwood stars.
I haven’t watched your channel for a while , this one is one of my favorite. I’m glad she fought back and put her foot down on those Hollywood men , Brandon must been very salty for spreading rumors about her . I just watched a recent movie of her and she still a beautiful woman. As always you do such a great job doing research thank you for the video.
My mom is from Naples too. Beautiful place with beautiful strong genes.
I agree, the people in Rome and Naples are gorgeous.
Thank you for being so forth coming about the real lives of these actress/actors. Your presentation holds one's interest while being complimentary. And, you're an exceptional public speaker.
You are a wonderful story teller and your voice is calm and soothing. Great work.
Thank you for all these videos. I love how calmly and reasonably you tell their glamorous-to-ugly lives. I hope some day you will dedicate one of your videos to the gorgeous italian icon Claudia Cardinale.
Oh yes! My favorite Claudia's "How the West was won! "
@@pamspencer5733 once upon a time in the West.🙂
Karine your voice is just sooo soothing. I just realised now. I was so stressed and half your video I just feel better. Thank you. ❤
thank you so much for doing a video on sophia loren ! i've always found her to be an icon, so beautiful and unproblematic. great job on this video ❤
I always loved her strength and resilience off camera as much as her acting abilities. Thanks for such an amazingly detailed biopic
Yes!!!! I have been waiting for this one. Thank you, Karine!
Thank you for this Karine! Loren is my namesake, can't wait to watch.
Sophia is simply mesmerizing to watch on every level. Love her!
Lovely video that presents Sophie as a warm person with strong principles. Narrated in a charming way.
I love your videos. You always find some bit of information I’ve not heard before. And I realize I have been clueless my entire life as to when cosmetic surgery truly started.
May I make one suggestion? You have a lovely voice.
Today I noticed the background music really seemed to compete with you. Something softer would showcase your storytelling.
Once again: great video! Captivating, historical, iconic, capturing the history of an Italian icon in one video. The images, your voice-over, everything fits! Sophia Loren truly is an icon of the screen of old you did her the honour of capturing her life and career with dignity and style. 🤗🙂🙂
Thank you forthis video. I am italian and i have always loved her as an actress but mainly as a woman and positive role model.
Thank you Karine 😊 another beautifully done video!!! I appreciate your hard work and love ALL your videos! For you 😘🥰💜 for Sophia 🖤🖤🖤
I havent watched your Channel for a while. I love your voice, thank you for talking about Sophia Loren She has been my inspiration all my life. Her style, beauty is timeless. I went to watch her live in London back in 2018.💜💜💜
love your videos! The music mixed with the smoke visuals almost has a hypnotic effect that helps you focus on all the information. Would love to see you talk about Shelley Duvall
Ms. Karine, you always do an excellent job researching iconic accomplished women. I enjoyed Sophia Loren's story. Keep up your outstanding work. 😊
This was excellent. I hope Ms. Loren sees it!
This was fantastic!!! What a beauty Sophia Loren is!!! Hi, Sophia!!! And, Karine, you are absolutely enchanting!
Karine, your channel brings so much joy to my daily life. I look forward to a new upload from you everyday.
Thank you so much for your video on Sophia. Love her. If possible, can you make a video on Indian actress Sridevi? She was a lovely actress with a tragic end ❤
Thank you for such a lovely compliment! And yes Sri Devi will be coming up very soon ♥️
@@KarineAlourde yay thank you so much
Marlon Brando was gay.
I love that you did Sophia Loren!!!! I always look forward to your videos!
Wonderful essay on Sophia Loren. You show always what women go thru. God bless, masterful music, and your voice is calming. Thank you for making these talks. Very calming.
Sophia Loren is a wonder, & let go of Hollywood, still a star
Sophia Loren didn’t fall into the traps and pits that a lot of women fell into who wanted to become successful, in Hollywood in that she held firm to her own morals, standards, and ethics, and would not be swayed. She had her values figured out, and they were in the right places. And for that, she is rewarded with children and grandchildren and a lot of love around her instead of loneliness and alcoholism. Since you have given us this beautiful story on Sofia, Loren, I suggest now you move to France and feature their icon of the film pantheon who is Catherine Deneuve. Her and Sophia are regarded as the most beautiful woman in the world at the time, not many people in United States know of her, but she is very famous, and she did do some American movies, as well as being a spokes person, and model for cosmetics etc.
LOL, you are very naive and uninformed. She definitely did what she had to do to get where she got. Google her pics before fame.
That's because she was already famous in Italy and had Carlo Ponti to protect her.
Aesthetically speaking Catherine daneuve is beautiful but I don't respect her as I do Sophia Loren. Catherine has along with other wealthy women come to the defense of rapists politicians and entertainment employees saying " boys will be boys" she is a big big star who can file a lawsuit if a movie director raped her or blocks her chance of getting a movie role if she doesn't accommodate his sexual desires. Most actresses, secretaries, waitresses, etc have faced consequences, losing jobs and slandered. One French politician arrested and handcuffed in USA for sexually assaulting a hotel maid was slandered and Michael Jacksons lawyer attacked the maid and told the press she's Moslem. Please tell me why we need to know a maids religion? Why didn't they tell us the rapists religion too( he's Jewish but an atheist) lawyer released maids Moslem religion so well hate her and turn against her. These are the type of men Catherine daneuve defends. A French journalist and her daughter came forward to say they were raped by the same politician. Ms daneuve went after them too. I know of 2 European actresses far more beautiful than daneuve. One is Ursula Andreas and the other is Claudia cardinal
@@christinanielsen1917 Bravo! Well Deneuve may be wealthy and privileged. But, she belongs in the gutter for being stupid, ignorant, and misogynistic, using her power to defend awful men of power and going after those that have been wronged and exploited. It angers me that people still worship this bitch, despite how awful she is just because she is a famous actress and was once good looking.
❤ I enjoy your commentary work - you share their lifes with empathy, compassion and kindness. Reality is not what we want… but what was. THANK YOU 👍🏼☮️💟 From Louisiana 💝
I remember watching a movie with her in it. I was so captivated by her face and her skin darker than expected. I finally learned her name when I was older. I was so happy 😅.
She was not dark skinned, only darkened purposely for a couple of the movie characters she starred as.
@@spaniardsrmoors6817 why you whitewashing her, she is deeper skinned and she acknowledges it. Shes copper toned olive skinned and thats why shes so relatable. She was never darkened as she didn't need to be, a tan was sufficient but naturally she is of deep olive colour being ITALIAN.
Hey guy, watch her movies, photos, she's as white as any northern European and she was PURPOSELY tanned or used make up for a few parts where she played foreigners. Where, when did she "acknowledge it?"And that stereotype Italians are olive skinned applies to a small minority, dark skinned are even fewer, less than 1%. The overwhelming majority are light and WHITE. @@user-li1gp2jw8k
BTW, look at the thumbnail photo, where do you see dark or even olive skin??? One can't get any whiter.@@user-li1gp2jw8k
An icon. A woman with class, elegance & beauty. A great actress. Keep the good work Karine. ♥.
My father told me that, back in the day, the only women who shaved their body hair were prostitutes. He's 80 years old. This was in the Hispanic culture, and I have a feeling it was the same for women from other cultures as well. That may be a reason she didn't shave...anyone else know about that?
thank you for this video, karine. this is beautiful. I often practice her eye and eyebrow looks on myself
My all time favorite Hollywood icon! I remember in middle school at the library. I saw her book “Women & Beauty”. I was mesmerized by her looks, she is classic. Those eyebrows are the most copied shape to date. Love❤️me some Sophia Loren thank you 🙏🏽
Yes, finally! Thank you! Love Sophia.
Fact that you talked about her secret to dark circles and I needed something . She’s a genius and you have a new subscriber . Epitome of beauty
Can't even emagine that she's actually a really shy and humble woman
She is in fact a real chav with lack of class and arrogant
I literally JUST finished one your videos and then the notification popped up ♥️
♥️🫶🏾
Thank you for delving into these interesting woman.
My dad grew up not far from where she did. She has always been an idol & role model as an Italian American woman. Strong, beautiful, confident, talented…she is what I aspire to.
She was such an iconic beauty! 😍 This lady exuded elegance, class, and sensuality.
Karine we appreciate all that you do! You bring the humanity of Hollywoods most stunning actresses. Women can be so jealous of gorgeous women. Sadly most had lived through so much tragedy we can’t help but 💗 and relate to them. You promote GIRL 💪🏽& 🫶🏽 🙏🏽 💋💋💋God Bless You 👑 Queen
Lovely video thanks👍I love her beauty and confidence and what a great actress and wonderful human being she is..My favourite ,stunning lady🌹
My all time favorite actress! Love her charm and her beauty inwardly and outwardly.😍
❤Thank you! Great as always. 😊
I love your videos karine you teach me so much and you calm me down your just so amazing I’ll forever support 🥺😘
Thank you for sharing and caring
Amazing video❤
Very well researched which is why I love you
Glad you enjoyed! ❤❤
She has to be the most beautiful, talented and grounded actresses of her time (in my opinion)... A young Sophia and a young Linda Evangelista look alot alike...
I think Raquel Welch also resembles her quite a bit, and Innoway inherited her throne
Sophia is more beautiful
@@lisajan580 💯% agreed 👍
У СОФИ ВУЛЬГАРНАЯ КРАСОТА.НОС ДЛИННЫЙ КРИВОЙ. РОТ БОЛЬШОЙ. КАК АКТРИСА ТАЛАНТЛИВА
Linda Evangelista was photographed for various fashion magazines styled as Sophia Loren. I think it may have been by Patrick demarchelier? She did look a lot like her when she was made up. It’s the shape of the eyes and the mouth.
imo her signature movies were with Marcello Mastroani. " Marriage Italian style' and "today tomorrow yesterday" no Dought top 5 Beauties of Golden age of Hollywood were Marilyn M , Sofia L , Gina L , Elizabeth T and Raquel W
She is a versatile actress and her talent compares with her lovely beauty. I love her confidence!
I am such a fan of Sophia Loren and was so happy when she was able to have children by the love of her life. Those 2 were destined to be together. Her movies,Marriage Italian Style,Houseboat,so many I enjoyed,but it was the movie "Two Women" where she nailed it. A movie that definitely need to be viewed. So glad you are bringing back old Hollywood and keeping it real.
Such a beauty! And much thanks to her for standing her ground about her nose! ❤
Great video!!
Always loved Sophia Loren's character. Because of your video I understand so much more of who she is and why. Thank you.
Really well researched! 👍
Awesome video! 🙌
She was more than beautiful she was talented she is one of greatest actress of all time her acting is pure gold let’s start here
I congratulate you on this fine video deep dive of Sophia Loren. She is one of my all time idols. Someone to live up to. Besides her fabulous beauty, I always love her sense of humor equally as much. Viva Sophia! Bella Bella!
wow another excellent video
you inspire me
Wonderful facts and the naughty things as well ..Even in late 1950’s an unmarried couple could not get a hotel room without risking arrest . Karine never disappoints.. by the way recently she had a role in a very good independent film where her character is a Holocaust survivor in Italy, remarkable performance
She is one of my favorite Actress. Her daughter in-law is Sasha Alexander and awesome Actress too.
Such a good review 😊
she and raquel welch are so similar
That’s her twin in my eyes 😍
@@KarineAlourde yeah
Yeah,the same type of beauty. Very striking! Once you see them you never forget.
Yes Beautiful women
Thank you for all the beautiful photos of this incredibly beautiful woman.
I think she is one of the most beautiful actresses ever❤
Love your channel Karine - could you do a video on Princess Soraya Pahlavi please? The shah of irans first wife - she looked a bit like Sophia and was just so beautiful and chic.
Thank you Karine...Sofia is one of a kind...beautiful and very strong woman..affascinante e un'po misteriosa..Grazie..love your videos..a hug from Sicily..👸💖
I’m finding your channel so interesting. Please make a video on Barbara Stanwyk
She looks like Linda Evangelista.
Or Linda Evangelista looks like Sophia - the noses are very similar.
I definitely see a little of Sophia in Linda
Evangelista's parents are from the Naples area also. They emigrated to Canada.
