Sophia Loren | Born: 1934

Sophia Loren is certainly a legend in Hollywood. She is an actress who rose to fame during the industry’s Golden Age and is one of its last surviving stars. The Italian actress was at the peak of her career during the 1950s because of films such as Houseboat, It Started in Naples, and The Pride and the Passion. Her roles at the time turned her into a beauty icon. She is given credit for being the first actress to win an Oscar for a foreign-language performance for her role in Two Women in 1969.

Despite her rare appearances in the 1980s, Loren was able to leave a mark on the industry. In addition to the Oscar that she won, her achievements cannot be understated. She holds the record (seven) for the most David di Donatello Awards for Best Actress. Even though many actors have since risen to prominence, many still admire the legendary actress.
