Add Monica Bellucci to that list.
Love than picture. Classic!
Wow!
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.

Claudia Cardinal.
That was also a favorite of mine.
Just a stunner.
Just a stunner.
She was never more beautiful.
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
I think that was when she was her most beautiful......1995
Stunning ... in the Melania Trump and Raquel Welch absolutely beautiful league.
God continue to bless Sophia!
Amen!!!

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?
