Product Description

Product Description
The authors tell us of her life and all the films of the most glamorous Italian actress, her inside story. The book - an unauthorised biography on Sophia - contains her story, from her very beginnings in the world of picture-stories magazines, when known as Sofia Scicolone (her real name), to the heights of being a Hollywood star. Fresh, complete and easy to read, the book comes with a rich selection of public and private photos in colour and black and white, most of them never seen before, which allows the reader to get to know the real Miss Loren, her beauty and her naturalness. Sophia Loren is the only Italian actress (together with Anna Magnani) to have won an Oscar (Best actress in 1961 - Two Women by De Sica; Honorary award in 1990) for best female protagonist and to have "conquered" the Hollywood cinema. She has thousands of fans throughout the world. Two Women is one of the very few "foreign films" to have also enjoyed real commercial success in the US. There is nothing that this unauthorised biography doesn't say about this appealing Oscar-winner and her Hollywood stardom. Secrets, fears and hopes of this beloved actress, recognised by the British cinema for her voluptuously earthy appeal; the true Sophia Loren is revealed by the authors (who know her well) in this extraordinary piece of work.

About the Author

4.0 out of 5 stars Sophia Loren: pictures not words, 5 Dec 2003
By A Customer
The book is accurately priced. The content relies too heavily upon film industry critic's reviews – to the point where it becomes laborious. However, the stunning photographs of Sophia (most are in black and white) make amends for the text.
