With full lips, a curvy figure, and olive skin Sophia Loren was not the typical cookie cutter actress. She rose to international stardom in the late 1950s and earned an Academy award for her performance in Two Women (1962). Loren is the first artist to win the award for a foreign language performance. Her award winning career has spanned over six decades.
"There is a Fountain of Youth: It is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age."
-Sophia Loren
