Description

From the humblest of beginnings in her native Italy, Sophia Loren would flourish on the world stage as one of the most beautiful and talented actresses the screen has ever known. A prize in a beauty contest at age 16 led to a career that has lasted more than sixty years and performances in a diverse canon of films, including The Pride and the Passion, Houseboat, Marriage Italian Style, Grumpy Old Men, and Two Women, for which she was awarded the first Best Actress Oscar given to the star of a foreign film.

Sophia Loren is a photographic tribute to the beloved icon, recounting the star's extraordinary life and notable films with famous co-stars and directors, along with quotes by Sophia and those who have known her best. Filled with hundreds of rare colour and black-and-white photographs, it's a volume as stunning as its ageless subject.
