Sophia Loren's disturbing Hollywood stories & glamorous Italian beauty secrets

Love this beautiful and talented actress!!! Viva Sophia!

[@anastasia10017]

Sophia Loren was born illegitimate which was a HUGE disgrace in her day. Her father was an on again off again lover of her mother's and refused to acknowledge Sophia as his child and would not give her his name. it was a huge humiliation for Sophia's childhood. He did the same thing for the second child. Her father would disappear for months/years and then show up again like nothing happened and stupidly, her mother would take him back. Sophia's mother/family fought him legally - it was a big deal - to recognize Sophia as his child and eventually won. But again, he refused paternity for the second child and when sophia was an adult and wealthy enough, she paid her father to acknowledge paternity of her sister. Her father was a major jerk and loser.

I met Sophia Loren in person it was in the 1980’s and I was a teenager. I can honestly say that none of the pictures do her justice, in person she is ‘breathtakingly beautiful’ and I don’t say that lightly. If she walked into any department store the entire store would come to a standstill as everyone would want to catch a glimpse of her, stunning stunning woman! I also heard from some of the crew that Cary Grant could not stop drooling over her when they weren’t filming. I’m sorry to hear what she had to go through in regards to the fake porn photos for a woman with such integrity it would have been embarrassing for her in front of her 2 sons and grand children.

The fact that she thrived in the golden age of Hollywood relatively free of scandal and now getting caught up in the vices and men that doomed other beautiful female leads is very remarkable.

[@user-li1gp2jw8k]

Italian cultural values and religion is taken seriously regarding one’s reputation

[@andrewmiller4885]

The solid head was Carlo Ponti not Sophia Loren's. If it wasn't for him the Italian director and film maker she married at a very tender young age she would have ended up like her mother, used and abused by men, with illegitimate children of her own as well. Ponti gave Sophia her stardom and her life. She is very fortunate he did the right thing by her because she was sleeping with him well before they were married. Ponti already had a wife and children. Hmm seems that didn't bother Sophia. Ponti could have had his jollies with her and cast her aside, but he didn't, she got lucky.

[@bethclark9319]

Carey Grant's wife, Betsy Drake, wrote Houseboat and was supposed to be the lead actress; when Grant's affair with Sophia, he had his wife fired and had Houseboat rewritten for Sophia. Then when it came time to film the movie Sophia had already broken up with Carey, and he was divorced, thinking that Sophia would marry him. He was bitter and angry with her on the set. The same thing happened with Peter Sellers. Not only did they have to film a movie together, but they also had to record the song for the movie together, and he was also bitter and angry and divorced his wife for her. Not trashing S. L., I also believe she led many of these A-listers. They were wrong for cheating on their spouses, and she was terrible for letting them think they had a chance with her. Knowing that her heart always belonged to Carlos. My favorite movie is TWO WOMEN. If you have never seen it, I think you should. Her acting is just powerful. I loved all her Italian movies, and Houseboat is still my favorite American movie. I also had the privilege of meeting her and Carlos when I was a teenager.

[@bonita-u9ve]

Just because the lady is old now , don't mean you can't drag her for filth .I already knew all about her when I saw her surrounded by all those men . I'm not surprised in the least she didn't respect marriage and cheated with those actors , how easy just to think it's all pretend it's all part of the plan and tough for the wives whos lives were ruined . Neither do I feel sorry for Grant I thought he was in the closet anyway so she'd be getting the same man eventually.😢 Alot of her movies were overlooked in favour of Vivien Leigh and Liz Taylor. I got the impression that there was a reason I hadn't seen her movies on repeat .

Sophia Loren didn’t fall into the traps and pits that a lot of women fell into who wanted to become successful, in Hollywood in that she held firm to her own morals, standards, and ethics, and would not be swayed. She had her values figured out, and they were in the right places. And for that, she is rewarded with children and grandchildren and a lot of love around her instead of loneliness and alcoholism. Since you have given us this beautiful story on Sofia, Loren, I suggest now you move to France and feature their icon of the film pantheon who is Catherine Deneuve. Her and Sophia are regarded as the most beautiful woman in the world at the time, not many people in United States know of her, but she is very famous, and she did do some American movies, as well as being a spokes person, and model for cosmetics etc.

Aesthetically speaking Catherine daneuve is beautiful but I don't respect her as I do Sophia Loren. Catherine has along with other wealthy women come to the defense of rapists politicians and entertainment employees saying " boys will be boys" she is a big big star who can file a lawsuit if a movie director raped her or blocks her chance of getting a movie role if she doesn't accommodate his sexual desires. Most actresses, secretaries, waitresses, etc have faced consequences, losing jobs and slandered. One French politician arrested and handcuffed in USA for sexually assaulting a hotel maid was slandered and Michael Jacksons lawyer attacked the maid and told the press she's Moslem. Please tell me why we need to know a maids religion? Why didn't they tell us the rapists religion too( he's Jewish but an atheist) lawyer released maids Moslem religion so well hate her and turn against her. These are the type of men Catherine daneuve defends. A French journalist and her daughter came forward to say they were raped by the same politician. Ms daneuve went after them too. I know of 2 European actresses far more beautiful than daneuve. One is Ursula Andreas and the other is Claudia cardinal

Such a great video...again! I don't believe the shrapnel to the chin story, though. Unless the shrapnel was a surgeon's hand holding a scalpel....that's just a natural cleft of the chin, imo. Your passion for this research produces great results!

She did the right thing when it mattered and she is a great judge of character!

I AM SO GLAD TO SEE SOPHIA LOREN AND SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND GLAMOROUS I LOVE HER AS ONE OF MY FAMOUS ACTRESSES BACK IN THE DAY!!🥰

there is nothing about sophia loren that isn’t extraordinary. she is a force of nature. i am enjoying your videos. you balance the very famous with the less remembered celebrities of earlier eras. your tone is positive and informative. you bring up the moral issues of past times and double standards but you are not overly preachy. i find myself in total agreement with you. i just wanted to let you know that i think you are doing a superb job! carry on!

Thank you for this Karine! Loren is my namesake, can't wait to watch.

love your videos! The music mixed with the smoke visuals almost has a hypnotic effect that helps you focus on all the information. Would love to see you talk about Shelley Duvall

Love your channel Karine - could you do a video on Princess Soraya Pahlavi please? The shah of irans first wife - she looked a bit like Sophia and was just so beautiful and chic.
