She was a gorgeous movie actress beginning in the 1960s...one of the most popular movies was "Houseboat" with Cary Grant. One director was quoted, "she was gorgeous even soaking wet." I believe she is retired now , but still very beautiful.

Where have you been Comrade? Ms. Loren is very much alive- not even any scares such as the very real health problems of Zsa Zsa Gabor. I am not aware of any Italian actress who has expired recently of the fame of Sophia Loren. It would be all over the papers!
