Iconic Italian actress

Known as one of the most iconic actresses of the 20th century, Loren’s last film appearance was in the Italian drama “The Life Ahead,” directed by her son Edoardo. In 2021, Loren appeared in the documentary “What Would Sophia Loren Do?”.

Sophia Loren, who won a Best Actress Oscar for her role in the war drama “Two Women” and received an honorary Oscar from the Academy in 1991, made her last public appearance at the Armani fashion show during the 80th Venice Film Festival on September 2nd.

Loren shared about feeling younger than her age in a November 2020 interview with AARP: The Magazine. She says sometimes she is 86 and does not believe it. She feels she is 20. When she looks at her reflection, she cheers for herself. For her what matters is how she feels inside, how secure and happy she is. She does not ask if she is great or if she is beautiful.
