Sophia Loren

Sophia Loren is one of the last surviving stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood. With her beauty and talent, the 84-year-old actress is one of the best actresses of her generation. Loren started her career at the tender age of 16. She first made minor roles until she got a five-picture contract with Paramount in 1956. From here, her international career started. Her first recognition was when she portrayed the role of Cesira in Vittorio De Sica’s Two Women. She earned an Academy Award for Best Actress, making her the first actress who won an Oscar for a foreign-language performance. She also holds the record for receiving six David di Donatello Awards for Best Actress.

Aside from a lot of accolades, she belonged to the 21st Greatest Female Stars of Classic Hollywood Cinema list by the American Film Institute in 1999. Now, she is out of the spotlight. But for her to take a new role, she said it should be something that she really likes. She may be enjoying her time at home at present, knowing she has the best home security system.
