The Effervescent Sophia Loren
Did you know that Sophia Loren was just 17 years old when she debuted in Quo Vadis in 1951? She has since appeared in many projects over the years. There was a time when she was asked what she would do differently, if any. She only said, In a long, long career like I had—and by the way, I have—it’s very difficult to be able to criticize some of the moments that you do by yourself that you never tell to other people. It’s a very normal thing to do because you cannot every time have a big victory – no, there have been moments, maybe weak moments, where you did something that you are not really very happy about.”

He turned them all down! “What I want is to stay free, so that I can carry out my ideas… I don’t think there are many editors who could give me the assignments I give myself,” he said.
