Sophia Loren

Mini Biography
She is the illegitimate child of Romilda Villani and Riccardo Scicolone. Sophia grew up in the slums of Pozzuoli, just outside Naples. After insignificant parts in Variety Lights (1950) and Quo Vadis (1951), she met movie-director Carlo Ponti, some 22 years her senior, whom she later married. Perhaps he was the father figure she never experienced as a child. In 1961 she received an Academy Award for La Ciociara, (1961) ('Two Women'). This beautiful lady became one of the major sex symbol of the sixties, competing with Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot and Jane Fonda. She was a very close friend of Cary Grant. She gained wider respect with her later movies like Cassandra Crossing (1976), Una Giornata particolare (1977) and Prêt-à-Porter (1994). A lot of her movies were produced by her husband. In many of her movies she played together with Marcello Mastroianni.
