Seen as one of the first cinematic sex symbols, Sophia Loren's charisma and voluptuous figure attracted many admirers. Yet her life away from the cameras may surprise some - she was married to Carlo Ponti, film producer, throughout her career and until his recent death. She also struggled to become a mother and considered her two children her greatest accomplishment. Loren came from impoverished roots to become possibly the greatest Italian actress of her time. Her many films included "Houseboat"; "Two Women", for which she won an Academy Award; "The Fall of the Roman Empire"; and "The Millionairess". She also loved to sing, adding to her sex appeal with her seductive voice. "Sophia Loren: A Life in Pictures" illustrates the variety and contrasts in Loren's private and public persona, with wonderful pictures and an incisive biography. Формат: 25,5 см x 29 см.
