Happy Birthday, Sophia Loren!
Sophia Loren, Italy’s national cinema icon and eternal diva, turns 80 today and is marking the milestone with a book of memoirs revealing details of her rags-to-riches life.
For the 300-page “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow - My Life,” Loren went into what she called her “trunk of memories” to fish out old pictures, letters and notes from the likes of Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra, Audrey Hepburn and Richard Burton, not to mention Italian soul mate Marcello Mastroianni.
The result includes plenty of juicy tales, such as how she stopped Marlon Brando’s physical advances with a fulminating glare and how Grant suggested they should pray to make the right decision when they were falling in love on a film set.
Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow is available December 2nd, 2014.
