About this book

Sophia Loren: Movie Star Italian Style is a photographic tribute to the icon, recounting her extraordinary life and notable films. Rising from humble beginnings in Italy, Sophia Loren built a career spanning nearly seven decades in motion pictures. She starred in epic blockbusters of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s and appeared in dramatic roles opposite actors including Cary Grant, Marcello Mastroianni, John Wayne, Gregory Peck, and Marlon Brando. Her films include Houseboat, Marriage Italian Style, Grumpy Old Men, and Two Women, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress in a leading role—the first such award given to the star of a foreign film. This photographic tribute takes readers through her remarkable life, relationships, and film career. The book features hundreds of rare color and black-and-white photographs and includes quotes from Sophia and those close to her.
