Sophia Loren

FAMOUS WOMEN AND BEAUTY FEATURING: Sophia Loren, born Sofia Scicolone Born September 20, 1934 actress, writer, designer

She is one of the world’s most glamorous women. Her self-assured style, vitality and nobility make her very special in a row of fashion icons, famous actresses and celebrities.

Loren is truly a self-made successful person, who received nothing in her life for granted.

• Beauty? - She was called ugly her whole childhood.
• Wealth? - She was born illegitimate in a poor Italian family.
• Success? - She had almost no chance. With her heavy provincial accent, and many screen tests she failed due to her "not classical beauty", she had only determination left.
• Family? It took long years for her to marry the person she loved. Giving birth to her two children was also not smooth and was a result of her determination and putting her career aside.
