The first book on Sophia of its kind, Sophia Loren: Movie Star
Italian Style is a photographic tribute to the beloved icon, recounting
the star's extraordinary life and notable films.
From the humblest of beginnings in her native Italy, Sophia Loren has
gone on to have one of the most interesting paths in motion picture
history. In a career spanning close to seven decades, she starred in
epic blockbusters of the '50s, '60s, and '70s; dazzled in dramatic roles
opposite the likes of Cary Grant, Marcello Mastroianni, John Wayne,
Gregory Peck, and Marlon Brando; and turned heads in classics like
Houseboat, Marriage Italian Style, Grumpy Old Men, and Two
Women, for which she was awarded the first Academy Award for Best
Actress in a leading role given to the star of a foreign film.
Sophia Loren is a photographic tribute to the beloved icon, taking you
on an illustrative journey through her remarkable life, dearest
relationships, and diverse film canon. Filled with hundreds of rare
color and black-and-white photographs and featuring quotes by Sophia and
those who have known her best, it's a volume as stunning as its ageless
subject.
