An Original Vintage 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" [17 x 22 cm] German News Photo (Learn More) Rock Hudson was born in 1925. He was 6'4" (or was he 6'5"?) and he looked like a movie star, and it didn't take him long to become one. Some of his movies include: Giant, Seconds, and Ice Station Zebra. He appeared in around 70 movies, and starred in a TV series, McMillan & Wife, in the 1970s. He was gay at a time when one couldn't reveal that and continue in movies, and he had to hide that throughout his career (even having a sham marriage in the 1950s), until he got AIDS and could no longer hide it. When he publicly admitted that he had AIDS, it changed the public perception of the disease, and helped gain the funding and research that has led to so many advances in fighting it. AND Sophia Loren is an Italian actress and sex symbol from the 1950s to 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 his 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 Important Added Info: Note that this news photo measures 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" [17 x 22 cm], but it has not been trimmed.
