Sophia Loren
"One of the most famous sex symbols in cinema, Sophia Loren is renowned for her beauty, charisma and voluptuous figure. Yet her life away from the screen has contradicted her roles as a siren. Married to the film producer, Carlo Ponti, throughout her career and until his recent death in 2007, she struggled to become a mother and has said that she considers her two children her greatest accomplishment." "Escaping impoverished roots, Loren rose to fame in the late 1950s, becoming one of the greatest Italian actresses of all time. The only woman to win a Best Actress award for a foreign film at the Oscars, her career now spans over 50 years and 100 films." "Illustrating the contrasts and contradictions of Loren's private and public persona, Sophia Loren: A Life in Pictures celebrates the achievements and captures the true essence of this much loved actress in stunning pictures and an incisive biography."--BOOK JACKET.

Pauline Small emphasizes that although primarily an Italian star, Loren's career crossed the boundaries of a shifting network of film making ventures that spanned Italy, Hollywood and Europe.Loren was one of the leading figures in the 1950s whose professional achievements, Small argues, were undervalued and to a degree remain so. Using written and visual materials ranging from government archives to academic journals, from the popular press to her major films, "Sophia Loren: Moulding the Star" gives a fuller understanding of the forces, commercial, industrial and cultural, that combined to forge her enduring star status and the cult of a major film personality.
