Married by proxy? Of course, that's Mexico...but the validity of it sounds so shakey.

Ponti and Loren were married by proxy in Mexico in 1957 — two male attorneys took their place. The couple only found out about their marriage when the news was broken by a society columnist.

Oddly enough, that's exactly how I married my wife -- Morgan Fairchild.

The husband of Sophia Loren has to be one of the luckiest SOBs in history.

In 1951, Loren and her mother worked as extras in Quo Vadis, which was filmed in Rome and provided Loren with an early brush with Hollywood ... I'm old enough to remember this movie. Sophia Loren was 17 years old at the time ... Carlo Ponti (and others) came in later years.

Interesting side-note: Loren's sister, Anna Maria Scicolone, was married to Romano Mussolini, son of Italy's fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. Their daughter, Loren's niece, Alessandra Mussolini, was elected in 1992 to the Italian Parliament as a neo-Fascist.

Thus Mussolini was Sophia Loren's brother-in-law.
