The Sophia Loren Files 🍝

I started this account over on Twiitter, and it will continue there but the bird app's future is uncertain, at least for now.

I'm a huge fan of Sophia Loren's and I created the account a few years ago as a way to channel to all my love and deep admiration for her life and career as I've discovered it. And I hope to do that here as well. None the photos I share are really new, though some might be new to me –– Sophia's career does span six decades so there is a lot out there, and I'm always learning something new/looking to discover more.

That said, I've put time and money into my own personal collection, so anything I watermark I've either purchased myself or I've made.

If you know me from Twitter (or even if you don't), you'll know my love for this amazing lady runs deep, so thank you, lovelies, for indulging me 💋

Behind the scenes photos of Sophia Loren (and her son, Edoardo Ponti) taken during production of "Voce Umana" (2014)/"Human Voice". Edoardo has directed his mother in two films, this was their first. He'd go on to direct her again in "The Life Ahead" (2020).

In 1991 Sophia Loren was honored with an Oscar of her career, at this point she'd been in the business for over 30 years. Ahead of that, she sat down with Barbara Walters for an in-depth interview. In this clip she's talking about Cary Grant 🕊️

Happy New Year! 🥂 Wherever you are in the world, I hope it was a good one and I'm sure there are better things to come.
