a picture of Abraham’s wife

Of course but the 4000-year-old picture was lost.

The testimony of the king who had his pick of any woman he wanted, chose her at 90 year old, says it all (Genesis 20:2).

Sarah is noted for calling her husband "lord" in her heart (1 Peter 3:6; Genesis 18:12) and her youth was renewed "adorning herself being in subjection her own husband" (1 Peter 3:5). Something from which today's rebellious women could learn.

Yes, that is Jayne Mansfield.

Sophia probably beat Jayne in terms of “acreage,” but Jayne was just so damn visually generous.

I don’t think it’s possible to be more beautiful than that.

That movie was a favorite of mine. I always thought Loren would have made a better Cleopatra than Liz Taylor.

She suffered two miscarriages before her son Carlo was born, and a second son followed.

Sophia Loren speaks about the pain of suffering two miscarriages

Jane had an older daughter, Jane, from her first husband.
She posed in Playboy and had a few acting roles.

Thank you...interesting. I don’t think that was ever part of the stories that surrounded her mother or at least as I recall. I remember when tabloids were part of our news gathering - Confidential magazine.. Oh! My! but we did read every story. Today those type including People mag are full of freaks. I don’t believe that was true in “our day.” How else were we to know that Robert Mitchum was accused of “smoking pot” and risked the ruination of his career?
