Sophia Loren is one of the most famous Italian actresses of all time & even at the age of 70 continues to be considered one of the most desirable women on the planet. She was born Sofia Villani Scicolone in Pozzuoli, Italy, the illegitimate daughter of Romilda Villani & Riccardo Scicolone. She grew up there in poverty but found her way into small parts in European films in the early 1950s, often billed as Sofia Lazzaro. She was discovered by her future husband Carlo Ponti, who produced many of her films. One of her first major roles was as the titular character of the 1953 Italian film Due notti con Cleopatra. This film, like many of her other early roles, emphasized her voluptuous physique; she even appeared topless in a few films. Although she had appeared in a bit part in the Hollywood blockbuster Quo Vadis in 1951, it was not until 1957 s Boy on a Dolphin that Loren became a major international film star, due in part to the iconic image of her wearing a water-soaked, body-clinging dress.
