St. Petersburg 2nd Krasnoarmeyskaya St. The actress and singer of Italian origin, not only the icon of natural luxury and beauty, but also the cult person of the twentieth century. The first Oscar owner for the best female role in the picture in a foreign language of the legendary Chochare Wittorio de Sica. He bears the title of great officer of the San Marin Order of St.

Agatha. I was awarded numerous awards and prizes, as well as stars on the Alley of Glory in Hollywood under the number in the year of Sophia Loren noted. The young mother, who dreamed of becoming an actress, came to Rome to go through the film tests and become the understudy of the Greets Garbo herself, and there who knows - maybe an independent actress. But the girl was forced to abandon a possible brilliant future, because she fell in love with engineer Riccardo Shikolona and became pregnant from him.

Parents Sophia Loren in his youth after this dream of a film career went to dust. Hopes for marriage collapsed: Riccardo was married, and the divorce in Italy was almost impossible at that time. In childhood, Sophia Loren gave birth to her first daughter in a charity shelter for single mothers. Shikolone recognized his paternity at the birth of the first daughter, but the second daughter, Anna-Maria, did not admit.

Yes, after the birth of Sofia, Romilda left no hope to keep her lover and three years later became pregnant from him for the second time. But Romilda had to raise the girls alone, returning to his village, back to Domineko and Louise, to the parents who forgave and accepted the prodigal daughter back. Sophia Loren and her mother and sister, the young woman did not marry, putting all her forces to put her life better than her girls than her.

She gave private lessons in the piano game, in the evenings she played on it in a local eatery, but there was constantly not enough money. Neither the toys that the girls themselves made from the crumb and clay, nor for the normal bed - the sisters slept together on the only mattress lying right on the floor. Model career training at school did not bring great joy in Sofia.

For high growth, teenagers teased her with a pole. She despaired, considering herself in the mirror: her nose is long, her mouth is too large, her legs are not like that ... Romilda, understanding what beauty her older child of love will turn into a time, convinced her daughter to take part in the contest “The Queen of the Sea”, which was held annually in the explorer, simultaneously sending her photographs to various agencies.

A photo selection with young Sophie Loren Fourteen -year -old Sofia fell into the three winners and she paid a trip to Rome, where she participated in the castings. Mom and sister also moved to the capital. The girl was so fascinated by the jury that it was decided to establish this title personally for her, carefully defying in the catwalk in white shoes and dressed, sewn from pink tulle curtains.

Young Sophia Loren at the Miss-Italian contest, the second girl on the right of the next two years, Miss Miss Elegance worked as a way: a fashion model for mod magazines, an statist, even starred half-naked for erotic paintings. Sophia Loren at the dawn of his career at the time of their acquaintance, Carlo had a wife with two children, about two dozen well -known films and the star of the cinema of the cinema, Gin Lollobidda.

He invited Sofia to the film test and on the very first day he felt on himself the freedom-loving character of the beginning actress: she categorically refused to change anything in appearance with the help of a plastic surgeon. Sophia Loren and Carlo Ponti but Ponti possessed a film -produced instinct and did not insist on experiments with surgical intervention anymore.

He only suggested that the future star take the pseudonym Sophia Loren and conclude a seven -year contract with him, to which the girl who had previously shot in low -grade films under the pseudonym Lazzaro agreed without hesitation. She also had a flair - female. Sofia immediately realized that I liked Carlo not only as an actress. But events developed according to the unhurried scenario of life.

The beginning of the movie: the cut of the Almaz Carlo Ponti, despite the gentle feelings, was tough enough when the case concerned the investment and terms of the contract. Sofia was engaged in the best etiquette specialists who instilled in her grace of manners, master of stage speech, who saved the girl from Neapolitan dialect, makeup artists who taught her the intricacies of makeup.

Dancing teachers polished a gait with seductively swaying hips. The persistent Ponti demanded that Sofia read classical literature, study the basics of dramaturgy with literary examples. Sophie Loren. The beginning of X Lauren was implicitly obeyed everything that in the future could benefit her, and diligently studied English, and then French, because Carlo insisted that she would have to play not only in Italian films.

In an interview, Lauren remembered how Ponty taught her to eat an omelet only with a fork and, unable to resist, burst into tears. They were more like an athlete and coach. The results of such "training" were not long in coming - soon the beautiful and original Sofia was ready to conquer the world.And the case introduced himself when Clemente Fracassi decided to adapt the world famous opera Aida in the cinema, the fragment of Gina Lollobrida did not want to play the role, which the singer Renat Tebaldi was supposed to voice.

Sophia Loren happily agreed to realize the image of Aida on the screen and soon not only admiring viewers, but also critics spoke of her. After that, Sophie suddenly met with her father: having learned that his illegitimate daughter became a movie star, he asked her money, promising in gratitude to recognize Anna-Maria, who, due to the lack of official paternity, began problems with obtaining a school certificate.

Sophie gave her first Riccardo fee, after which she changed her native, father’s surname to the pseudonym Loren. The path to Oscar Ponti, who wanted his protege to be recognized not only in Italy, “arranged for Sofia the role of Juana in the American project Stanley Kramer“ Pride and Passion ”. According to the custom, the director before starting the filming arranged a party at which the actors could get to know each other better.

Sophia Loren on the set of the film “Pride and Passion”, knowing that she has to play with Frank Sinatra himself, as well as Carey Grant, Sofia very carefully chose the dress and was insanely nervous. Her filmography already included the “gold of Naples” by Vittoriode Siki with a proprietary gait, from which men could not take his eyes off. She used her, appearing at a party.

The frame from the film “The Gold of Naples” Carey Grant, who was dreaming of Ava Gardner in his partners, was specially late to confuse the “Italian upstart”, and even began to tease it, deliberately calling Gina, implying a lolbridge. But in less than fifteen minutes, as I dried up, he had already poured out his soul to Sofia - and about how vagrant with the troupe of the acrobats, and about three failed marriages.

Then the actor invited Lauren to have dinner together, and after that they spent almost every evening together. But at that time, Lauren was engaged to Carlo for three years. Of course, secretly. Ponti, despite the fact that he was still married to General Fiastry, did not want to lose the treasure, which he literally created with his own hands. Frank Sinatra and Sophia Loren in “Pride and Passion” by Sofia’s mother, who worries that her daughter does not repeat her fate, having contacted a married man, could not reconcile to such a state of affairs for a long time.

But Lauren, before whom the man’s choice was seriously left with Carlo, despite the new passionate shootings with Grant in the Hollywood “floating house”. Ponti, seeing what was happening on the screen and knowing his Sophie, urgently began to seek an official divorce from a bored wife. A year later, Sophie admitted with Elvis Presley that it was the reason for her final decision: you know, I had to make a choice.

But Carlo was an Italian, he was from my world, and Carey Grant was not. In these words, the accurate reflection and the American film career of the actress. Her energy was so powerful that the temperament of Hollywood actors simply could not stand it. It was this actress that abandoned the role of the widow of Chezira, whose daughter was to play Sophie in the drama "Chochara".

Anna, who looked at Lauren from the bottom up literally, Kolko noticed a shot from the movie “Chochara” that Sophie should play a widow of fifty years. George Kyurkor, who was supposed to shoot the picture, also left with the maniauni. Remembering the life of her mother, Sophie seriously decided to change the role, as a result of her partner was Jean Paul Belmondo, and the director of the film was Vittorio de Sica.

When you watch the movie, you cry with my heroine. Before that, I was only a performer. This film made me a real actress. Her indisputable acting talent struck Kinakademikov so much that for the first time in the history of the Oscar, the foreign actress was awarded the cherished figurine. Sophie herself did not hope for victory and was not present at the award ceremony, because with her the nominee was Audrey Hepburn, who played in Tiffany's breakfast, and Sophie had no doubt that Audrey would win.

Sophia Loren and her first Oscar in the early morning actress called Carey Grant and was the first to inform her of this news. Lauren still believes that Oscar would never have received if she continued the Hollywood career: I knew that my place in Italy. I became famous in America thanks to Italian films. And again, Sofu is right. Despite the shooting in Hollywood films with such celebrities as Clark Gable “It began in Naples”, Charlie Chaplin and Marlon Brando “Countess from Hong Kong”, the greatest acting tandem of the twentieth century was recognized as her fellow countryman Marcello Mastroianni.

Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni, when recalling the untimely departed friend of her whole life, Lauren always says that forty years of joint filming brought her love for all joint paintings. Tender friendship in life and Italian passions in the frame connected two beautiful people and actors until the end of the days. Ponti explained this dizzying success in this way: the whole focus is that they are two incredibly beautiful and at the same time unusually ridiculous people.Most beautiful people are not funny droplets.

Recall at least their “marriage in Italian” or “yesterday, today, tomorrow”, where both sincere with humor, sexuality, fullness of life. A frame from the film “Marriage in Italian” after many years in “PROT-A-POST” they will again appear together in the frame, where the seduction scene will be repeated. It will be their swan song in the cinema. Two years later, an inconsolable girlfriend will bury her faithful friend Marcello and very rarely begins to star herself.

In the year, she will be awarded the honorary Oscar as one of the treasures of cinema.

Despite the long years, during which she had to wait for the divorce of the chosen one, which took place not even in Italy, but in France, despite the secret marriage in Mexico, which he then had to be cancel, Sophia Loren officially became Signora Ponty in the spring of the year. Sophia Loren and her husband despite the fact that Carlo was older than Sophie for more than twenty years, they felt happy.

The only thing that overshadowed the joy of the spouses for a long time was the absence of children. The hormonal imbalance led to two miscarriages and, desperately wanting to become a mother, Sofia plunged into deep depression. The figure of Sophia Loren, she stoically withstood the course of treatment and, having become pregnant for the third time, was literally afraid to breathe, spending almost all the time in bed and not communicating with anyone, except for doctors, her husband and assistant Ines.

The eldest son Sophia Loren is the name of Carlo - in honor of his father when the first -born was born in the year, named after his father, the happiness of his parents knew no bounds. Little Carlo lay comfortably in her mother’s arms, while she, reclining on a gurney, answered the questions of reporters with her husband right in the hospital's lobby. Four years later, Sophie became pregnant again.

And although bed rest was not so hard, she was stillware of participating in the filming and participating in events. In the year, Lauren safely gave birth to a second boy, who was named Edoardo. Sophia Loren and her husband and children the happy family lived in a 16th century villa, located near Rome. A beautiful house, surrounded by land, where fig trees grew, with a pool and a tennis court, stables and aqueduct was their real family nest.

Carabiners who came to the villa in the year were like a thunder among a clear sky.
