Date Sold 10/28/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 12 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Stills (Learn More) Sophia Loren is an Italian actress and sex symbol from the 1950s to the present. At age 14, Sophia Loren entered a beauty contest where she placed as one of the finalists. It was there that Sophia caught the attention of film producer Carlo Ponti, some 22 years her senior. They married in 1957 when she was 23, but had to divorce five years later when he was threatened with bigamy charges because the church did not recognize his divorce! In 1966 he finally obtained a divorce from his first wife and they were re-married, and remained married until Ponti's passing in 2007, when he was 94! She stood out from all the other sex symbols of her era because she could truly act, and she deservedly won the Best Actress Oscar! But decades before Jacqueline Bisset made headlines in her see-through diving suit, Loren shocked the world (but thrilled all American males!) when she appeared in her see-through shirt in 1957's Boy on a Dolphin! Some of her film roles include: El Cid, La Ciociara, Boy on a Dolphin, Two Women (in which she won the Best Actress Academy Award), and Marriage Italian Style. As of 2021, she is still alive at the age of 86! Important Added Info: Note that this is a special lot of "portrait" stills that were consigned to us by an individual who collected portraits of stars he liked over many decades! Each of the lots contain a number of ORIGINAL stills of a well known celebrity (there are 40 lots in all, and each is in its own auction), and the star is prominently pictured in ALL of the stills in that lot! Each of the lots contain a wide variety of stills of that particular star, covering different movies they made, and from different points in their career. Please note: many of these stills are in SUCH excellent condition that a person viewing them might well wonder if they are reproductions, but we assure you they are not! They were purchased decades ago (in many cases, when the movies came out), and they were in "brand new" condition at that time, and have been carefully stored ever since, so that explains why the condition is SO fine (and it also means this is a really rare opportunity to acquire multiple ORIGINAL portraits of a single star (there are NO repros in any of the lots)! Condition: very good to fine. One of the stills measures 7 1/2" x 9 3/4", but it has not been trimmed. Learn More about condition grades
