Sophia Loren (born Sofia Villani Scicolone on September 20, 1934) is an Italian actress[1], naturalized French. In 1962, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Two Women, becoming the first actress to win an Academy Award for a non-English-speaking performance. Loren has won 50 international awards, including two Oscars, five Golden Globe Awards, a Grammy Award and a BAFTA Award; she is the second most awarded actress in cinema history beside Meryl Streep. Her other prominent films include Legend of the Lost (1957), Houseboat (1958), El Cid (1961), The Fall of the Roman Empire (1964), The Cassandra Crossing (1976), A Special Day (1977), Prêt-à-Porter (1994), Grumpier Old Men (1995), and Nine (2009).

In 1999, Sophia Loren was listed by the American Film Institute on AFI's 100 Years... 100 Stars as one of 25 American female screen legends of all time. In 2002, she was honored by the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) at its annual Anniversary Gala and was inducted into its Italian American Hall of Fame.

Early life

Loren was born Sofia Villani Scicolone at the Clinica Regina Margherita in Rome, the daughter of Romilda Villani and Riccardo Scicolone, a construction engineer.[2] Scicolone refused to marry Villani, leaving her, a piano teacher and aspiring actress, without support.[3] Romilda, Loren and sister Maria returned to Pozzuoli, near Naples, to live with Loren's grandmother in order to survive.[4]

During World War II, the harbor and munitions plant in Pozzuoli was a frequent bombing target of the allies. During one raid, as Loren ran to the shelter, she was struck by shrapnel and wounded in the chin. Subsequently, the family moved to Naples and begged distant relatives to take them in.

After the war, Loren and her family returned to Pozzuoli. Grandmother Luisa opened their living room as a pub, selling homemade cherry liquor. Villani played the piano, Maria sang and Loren waited tables and washed dishes. The place was very popular with the American GIs stationed nearby.

When she was 14 years old, Loren entered a beauty contest in Naples and, while not winning, was selected as one of the finalists. Later she enrolled in acting class and was selected as an extra in the Mervyn LeRoy film, Quo Vadis, thus launching her career as a motion picture actress. She eventually changed her name to Sophia Loren.

Career

Beginnings

Loren began her film career in 1950 with bit parts in movies such as Quo Vadis. After being credited as Sofia Lazzaro and Sofia Scicolone, she began using her stage name in 1952's La Favorita. Her first starring role was in Aida (1953), for which she received critical acclaim.[5] After playing the lead role in Two Nights with Cleopatra (1953), her breakthrough role was in The Gold of Naples (1954), directed by Vittorio De Sica.[6] Too Bad She's Bad, also released in 1954, became the first of many films in which Loren co-starred with Marcello Mastroianni. Over the next three years she acted in many films such as Scandal in Sorrento (1955) and Lucky to Be a Woman (1956). In 1957, Loren's star had begun to rise in Hollywood, with the films Boy on a Dolphin (her U.S. film debut), Legend of the Lost with John Wayne, and The Pride and the Passion in which she co-starred with Cary Grant and Frank Sinatra.

International fame

Loren became an international film star with a five-picture contract with Paramount Pictures in 1958. Among her films at this time were Desire Under the Elms with Anthony Perkins, based upon the Eugene O'Neill play; Houseboat, a romantic comedy co-starring Cary Grant; and George Cukor's Heller in Pink Tights, in which she appeared as a blonde for the first time.

In 1960, Loren's acclaimed performance in Vittorio De Sica's Two Women earned many awards, including the Cannes Film Festival's best performance prize. Her performance was also awarded an Academy Award for Best Actress, the first major Academy Award for a non-English-language performance and to an Italian actress. Initially, the stark, gritty story of a mother and daughter surviving in war-torn Italy was to cast Anna Magnani as Sophia's mother. Negotiations broke down and the screenplay was rewritten to make Loren the mother; Eleonora Brown portrayed the daughter.

Loren is known for her sharp wit and insight. One of her most frequently-quoted sayings is her quip about her famously-voluptuous figure: "Everything you see, I owe to spaghetti." However, on the December 20, 2009, episode of CBS News Sunday Morning, Loren denied ever saying the line.

During the 1960s, Loren was one of the most popular actresses in the world, and she continued to make films in both the U.S. and Europe, acting with leading male stars. In 1964, her career reached its zenith when she received $1 million to act in The Fall of the Roman Empire. In 1965, she received a second Academy Award nomination for her performance in Marriage Italian-Style.

Among Loren's high-profile films from this period are Samuel Bronston's epic production of El Cid (1961) with Charlton Heston, The Millionairess (1960) with Peter Sellers, It Started in Naples with Clark Gable (1960), Vittorio De Sica's triptych Ieri, oggi, domani (1963) with Marcello Mastroianni, Peter Ustinov's Lady L (1965) with Paul Newman, the 1966 classic Arabesque with Gregory Peck, and Charlie Chaplin's final film, A Countess from Hong Kong (1967) with Marlon Brando.

Loren received four Golden Globe Awards between 1964 and 1977 as "World Film Favorite - Female."[7]

Mid-career and musical recordings

Once she became a mother, Sophia Loren worked less. During the 1970s, she appeared in such films as the last De Sica movie, The Voyage (1974), with Richard Burton, the actor whom re-teamed with that same year to star in a remake of the film Brief Encounter. In 1976 she starred in The Cassandra Crossing, a disaster film featuring such veteran stars as Richard Harris, Martin Sheen, and Ava Gardner. She also co-starred with Marcello Mastroianni in Ettore Scola's A Special Day (1977), receiving a Golden Globe nomination for her performance. Loren then starred in the Hollywood thrillers Brass Target (1978), set during World War II, and Firepower (1979).

In 1980, Loren portrayed herself, as well as her mother, in a made-for-television biopic adaptation of her autobiography. Actresses, Ritza Brown and Chiara Ferrari played Loren at younger ages. In 1981, she became the first female celebrity to launch her own perfume, Sophia, and a brand of eyewear followed soon thereafter.[8] She made headlines in 1982 when she served an 18-day prison sentence in Italy on tax evasion charges, a fact that didn't damage her career or popularity. In 1988 she appeared in the TV miniseries A Fortunate Pilgrim.

Loren has also recorded well over two dozen songs throughout her career, including a best-selling album of comedic songs with Peter Sellers; reportedly, she had to fend off his romantic advances. It was partly owing to Sellers' infatuation with Loren that he split with his first wife, Anne Howe. Loren has made it clear to numerous biographers that Sellers' affections were reciprocated only platonically. This collaboration was covered in The Life and Death of Peter Sellers where actress Sonia Aquino portrayed Loren. It is said that the song "Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)" by Peter Sarstedt was inspired by Loren. [citation needed]

Later career

In 1991, Loren received the Academy Honorary Award for her contributions to world cinema and was declared "one of the world cinema's treasures." In 1995, she received the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award. She made frequent appearances at awards ceremonies, and she presented Federico Fellini with an Academy Honorary Award. In 2009 Loren stated on Larry King Live that Fellini had planned to direct her in a film shortly before his death in 1993.[9]

Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Loren was selective about choosing her films and ventured into various areas of business, including cook books, eyewear, jewelry and perfume. She received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in Robert Altman's Ready to Wear (1994), co-starring Julia Roberts. In the box-office hit comedy Grumpier Old Men (1995), Loren played a femme fatale opposite Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon, and Ann-Margaret.

In 2001, Loren received a Special Grand Prix of the Americas Award at the Montreal World Film Festival for her body of work.[10] Her acting projects during this period were made in Italy, including the independent film Between Strangers (2002), directed by her son Eduoardo, and the television miniseries Lives of the Saints (2004).

In 2009, she co-presented the category of Best Actress at the 81st Academy Awards. After five years off the set and fourteen years since she starred in a prominent US theatrical film, Loren starred in Rob Marshall's film version of Nine, based on the Broadway musical that tells the story of a director whose midlife crisis causes him to struggle to complete his latest film; he is forced to balance the influences of numerous formative women in his life, including his deceased mother. Loren was Marshall's first choice to portray the mother. The film also stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Kate Hudson, Marion Cotillard, and Nicole Kidman. Loren was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for her part in the film.

Trivia

Loren at the 2009 Academy Awards

Loren is a huge fan of the football club S.S.C. Napoli. In May 2007, when the team was third in Serie B, she told the Gazzetta dello Sport that she would do a striptease if they achieved promotion to Serie A for the 2007/08 season. "The fans have a total passion, the city deserves promotion", Loren said. Although they achieved promotion to Serie A on June 10, 2007, Loren did not do a striptease.[11]

Loren's famous eyes can be found on the Italian wine Fattoria Paradiso bottles.

There is a street in the city of Etobicoke, Toronto, Ontario named for her.[12]

Loren is referenced in the song "Italian Girls" by 80s duo Hall & Oates on the 1982 album H20. The lyrics in the bridge say "I see Sophia on the Silver Screen, there must be more like her in Rome."

In 2009, it was revealed that Loren had written a letter in favour of the beatification of John Paul II.[13] Her name is the title of a song by the famous rock band Rolling Stones.

Marriage

Loren first met Carlo Ponti in 1950 when he judged her at a beauty contest. She was 15 years old at the time, while he was 37. They became a couple and married on September 17, 1957. However, Ponti had been married once before, and he was never officially divorced from his estranged wife Giuliana because Italy did not recognize divorce at that time, and as a result the marriage between Loren and Ponti was annulled in 1962. In 1965, Ponti and his ex-wife obtained citizenship in France where they could be legally divorced, allowing him to marry Loren on April 9, 1966 in Sèvres.[14][15][16]

The couple has two sons: Carlo Ponti Jr. (born December 29, 1968) and Edoardo Ponti (born January 6, 1973). Earlier in their marriage, Loren had two miscarriages and sought help from gynecologist Frank Novak in order to have children.

Loren remained married to Carlo Ponti until his death on January 10, 2007 of pulmonary complications.

She has two grandchildren: Lucia (born May 2006) and Vittorio (born April 2007).

Her daughters-in-law are Sasha Alexander and Andrea Meszaros.
