Sophia Loren - Images From The 1960's

Sophia Loren is still a magnificent beauty and actress, she will soon be starring in a new major motion picture production- Rob Marshall's musical "Nine", at age 74, no less! However, after formidably debuting in the 1950's, she reached her prime during the 1960's- It was her crowning decade. With this video I've humbly attempted to capture and document some of her most wonderful images, underlining her unique beauty and acting talent. A decade that began with the lovely Hollywood film "A Breath Of Scandal" playing a princess, a hilarious millionairess in the The Millionairess, and the heartwarming cabaret singer and aunt in "It Started In Naples"; moving on to her great Oscar winning role in "Two Women" in 1961, then through the mid 60's with great Italian films- "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" and "Marriage Italian Style". The latter again garnering her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. She then went on to make major international productions such as "The Fall Of The Roman Empire", "Operation Crossbow", "Judith", "Lady L", Arabesque", and "A Countess From Hong Kong". Crowning the end of the decade with the marvelous romantic fantasy "More Than A Miracle" and the funny "Ghosts Italian Style". But her greatest achievement by far was to be a mother, and after numerous miscarriages and untold efforts she managed to give birth to Carlo Jr. in late 1969.

I discovered Sophia for the first time as a child in 1961 when I saw her in "El Cid". She made a great impression then, but it would be the movie "Arabesque" that would make me a devoted fan for life. Her elegant and sexy entrance into Gregory Peck's room in that negligee was IT...I then went on to see almost all her movies whether at the movies or on TV, video tape or DVD and to me there is no greater beauty or actress than Sophia Loren.

I hope you enjoy these images set to the sweet little song, "Zoo Be Zoo Be Zoo" sung with style and innocence by Miss Loren herself and recorded in 1960 at the start of what would be a magical decade for her. Please take the time to watch this video and comment/rate it. Thank you kindly.:o)

Yes Cheeriosinabowl, I admire Sophia Loren too !! I have been a fan since I was 13 years old, in junior high school. At that time many of her movies were televised on both network and local television stations here in New York City. The awesome beauty and sex appeal of this woman is over shaddowed by her superior acting talent ! Was there ever a greater acting performance in the last century by an actress than she did in "Two Women" ? Watching her talent and beauty is a true honor !!

@fairnorth Well said! A Tour de force performance. She also blows one away in "Marriage Italian Style" , "Sunflower", "More Than A Miracle" and "A Special Day"

I love Sophia, but I just wish they would release more of her films to dvd. Robbie.

Loren is breathtakingly beautiful and sexy. But, to truly appreciate her talent, you must see her films in her native language. The same could be said of other great actresses like Liv Ullman, Bibi Andersen, Catherine Deneuve, Penelope Cruz, etc.

She has a beautiful facial structure.
