25 Sophia Loren Quotes About Being Beautiful Inside and Out

One of
the last surviving stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood, Sophia Loren is a distinguished
Italian actress. Due to her striking natural beauty, she is counted among the
world's all time most attractive women.

Loren spent more than five decades in the spotlight playing roles in more than 100 movies, but her life hasn’t always been glamorous. She grew up in extreme poverty as a shy and quiet child.

Sophia
lived in the city of Pozzuoli, at her grandparents’ home where she shared a
bedroom with eight other relatives. During World War II, things got even worse
as the city was a frequent bombing target. In the middle of one raid, Loren was
knocked to the ground by a shrapnel and injured her chin.

Her
life changed in 1951 after she enrolled in the national film school and
received her first role as an extra in Quo
Vadis.

At 85
years old, Loren defies age by keeping her youthful energy and makes stunning
appearances every time she walks down the red carpet
