Do You Recognize this Academy Award Winning Actress?

Sophia Loren?

Si si

R1 That's what I was thinking, too.

She looks amazing for 90

I’m impressed, R1! Way to go.

She looks different without her wig on, but her mouth is unmistakable.

Kevin Spacey?

It’s Befana, the Christmas witch!

Still beautiful, Miss Loren possesses a grace and authenticity sorely lacking among those who are one-third her age.

Happiness and self-acceptance, reflected.

She looks amazing. So much better without the capital W wigs.

I’d love to see her act in something worthy of her legend.

Sofia exactly 1 year ago,

People magazine:

I love Sophia Loren so much. One of my all time favorite actress.

I don’t recognize her without all the heavy eyeliner, beige lipstick, wigs, and bumptious cleavage. She looks healthy and happy, though.

I’ve never heard anyone report anything mean about her, either.

That’s what threw me, too, R13.

She is the poor man's Gina Lollabrigida.

Before scrolling down, in going to guess Tipi Hedren. The forehead is a giveaway. And i dont mean that in a bitchy or unpleasant way.

Hmmm… I can’t see the photo when I click on the link. It tells me to upgrade to IMGBB pro.

Same R17. This should work.

That’s how Tina Knowles gon look in 20 years.

90 my ass.

STREGA!🤟

Her son is hot.

After menopause, Italian women are hit had by testosterone.

The pic looks like a much older Lady Gaga (?)

Nipsey Russell late in life transition.

She did her makeup like this for about 50 years. It’s hard to recognize her without it.

Very Mother Theresa.

R26 The eyebrows are done the same way.

Buffy St. Marie?

Sophia ruined what was left of her face with plastic surgery, which included a nose job.

A year and a half ago, 90 YEAR OLD Sophia took a very bad spill and broke her hip and femur. She looks healthy in OP’s pic.

[quote] Her son is hot.

If you’re referring to Carlo Ponti Jr., you’re right. He is hot.

Not Loren fools!

Eduardo—

Edoardo*

It's all thanks to her bath oil.

photobomb

Here she is last year after her injury. That's her son Edo at the left.

She looks great. And this is natural light. No Photoshop.

r32 Yes, idiot.

A few more photos from same session - on Instagram.

r39 If you compared that and OP's photo, you'll notice one of them was manipulated to remove the liver spots.

She looks great. The painted eyebrows are the only things that are disturbing. So many women had then removed and they never grew back.

Sophia looks fine, but I thought it was Linda Hunt.

I don't know what y'all are smoking, she looks fucking terrible. Why she would greet fellow celebs without a wig is beyond me. Did she run out of time or something?

A star never goes out looking like a washerwoman.

Someone please use AI to put a wig on that, I can't bear to look at it anymore.

Alternatively, delete the thread.

R41 The only one I ever heard that about was Lana Turner. (And it wasn't her idea, she had them shaved off when playing a Chinese girl in Marco Polo in 1938.)

R39 From that Instagram post:

" Coming in at no. 21 on the list of Top 25 Actresses on AFI's list of 50 Greatest American Screen Legends, Loren is the last survivor of the overall list of 50 great stars."

I met Sofia about 5 years ago. She looked like when Sophia in the GG is madeover and Blanche says, Ive made an 85 year old woman look like a 6t yr old drag queen. And Dorosays, Ma, are u jn there? I dont mean any offence, i Loved meeting here, she didnt look like a drag queen, but it looked like all the add ons were swamping her. She was wearing flat, slipper like things that seemed old and comfy, and certainlywerent part of the outfit....they were moshly hidden by the long sparkly gold gown. . Lol. She was lovely and she smiled and helld my gaze whike another man was talking.

KING TUT?

I don’t think Carlo Ponti is the father of her sons. He (and De Sica) was her meal ticket out of poverty and probably prostitution.

[quote]That’s how Tina Knowles gon look in 20 years.

This is probably the only place you could say that and not be stung by the Hive.

I didn't recognize her.

I don't know her.

r46: Lucy had her eyebrows shaved when she was a Goldwyn Girl in the early '30s and they never grew back.

They were wildly inconstant over the course of her career - with some REALLY bad ones in the '60s.

(This is from "DuBarry Was A Lady" in 1943)

That’s a young Frances Fisher, silly.

Sophia’s distinctive 1960s brows were prosthetic and applied, Women lose their eyebrows with age, no matter what they looked like when they were young. Seems to me Sophia never had heavy or good looking ones.

My neck looks worse and I'm 56.

I thought it was a "light-skinned black woman" in that pic!

Is that Racist or Racially Micro aggressive? Datalounge, please advise if this is allowed or is it Miss Mendes.

Cute, looks just like my sleep paralysis demon.

Catherine Zeta Jones?

The eyebrows are a big mistake.

If you look at her eye makeup in r26, she not only extended the eyeliner past the eye, but also the false eyelashes.

She’s a lesbian, you know. Which explains why she stayed true to ugly troll Carlo Ponti, her loyalty to him was a great cover for her natural proclivities. Why would I think this? Well, don’t just take my word for it, there are plenty of women in and out of the business she has hit on.

And yeah, Ponti lifted her, her mother and sister out of dire poverty in postwar Italy, for which she was profoundly, endlessly grateful. He gave them a haven and a circle of protection until her great stardom provided it when her success as an actress outstripped his as a producer.

Check out “Two Women,” the movie that got her an Oscar — it’s basically her story and I think we can assume that all three women were subjected to sexual abuse in return for food, and sometimes just because men in wartime are animals.

^ That must be why Cary Grant was so interested in Sophia ;)

Looks a bit like Jar Jar Binks in that photo, but otherwise beautiful.

Aline MacMahon?

Her sons....woof.

Verificatia of Italian sizemeat?

WHY? R67?

La Streisand?

Looks nothing like Sophia Loren.

[quote] WHY?

Because I'm a homosexual. Why not?

Nobody guessed Faye Dunaway?

I guess the only big female stars left from the 1950s are Sofia, Shirley MacLaine, and Eva Marie Saint. Maybe Joan Collins. Anyone else?

Ann

Miss Bela Lugosi, reincarnata! 🇮🇹

I would have never known that was her.

R73, if you extend to the early 60s, there's Julie Andrews.

If you include the big female movie stars of the 1960s we still have those mentioned previously at R73 & R 74 as well as Julie Andrews, Jane Fonda, Mia Farrow, Barbra, Julie Christie, Ann-Margret, Tuesday Weld, Claudia Cardinale, Catherine Denueve, Tippi Hedren, Paula Prentiss, Dyan Cannon, Katharine Ross, Ali MacGraw, Elke Sommer, Diane Baker....

Post R73 should have also include Brigitte Bardot.

R78, most of those are ten years younger than Sophia and Julie. They should be on another thread.

Who's Diane Baker?
