„After all these years, I am still involved in the process of self-discovery. It’s better to explore life and make mistakes than to play it safe. Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.” – Sophia Loren
Sophia with her son Carlo Jr. (right) and newborn son Edoardo.
During both pregnancies she spent most of her time stuck in a room, literally not doing anything. She had been through 2 miscarriages before and desperately wanted these children.
This photo was published in Dutch magazine Libelle, issue of June, 1973. From my personal collection.

One of the most powerful scenes in the movie.

Lady L (1965) is probably not one of Sophia’s most known movies but I actually really enjoy it! Her character is just so quirky and it’s a joy to watch her and Paul Newman.
In this movie Sophia was actually transformed into an 80 year old lady while she was only around the age of 29 herself.
