Breaking a hip often leads to pneumonia during recovery...
That can often lead to funeral expenses...
Prayers up for her recovery...
She always seemed to be a kind person, too.
Praying for her and her family.
I didn’t realize she was still alive.

My Grandfather was gone 3 weeks after his fall.
Sad!
Maybe consider staying drunk?
She has been Godmother for the Italian MSC cruise line for probably 10 years.
THAT’S IT!!!!
Thanks 🙏
What is saving from falls at age 83 is this 25 minute exercise 4 times a week. My legs are still strong, and my balance is very good.

Agree and quite comfortable with herself as she aged to always be a lady with grace.
One of the few classy old school actresses left. The newer younger ones seem to be trash.
Prayers for Miss Loren’s recovery.
One of her sons is married to actress Sasha Alexander who was in NCIS For several years .

A Classic, on many levels.
