Sophia Loren – Beauty in Cannes
No one can deny that this snapshot of legendary Italian actress Sophia Loren radiates charm, sensuality, and majesty. A 2021 Vogue homage reports that she competed in the 1950 Miss Italia pageant and won Miss Elegance. She was cast in “Aida” when show industry executives took notice of her and she became the most photographed figure at the 1955 Cannes Film Festival.
There were no indications then that this ’50s star wouldn’t become a global star. Loren, one of the few living Golden Age stars, continues to appear on our screens well into her late 80s, starring in “The Life Ahead,” a 2020 Italian drama film.
