访谈录 2014-11-19&11-21 80岁传奇巨星索菲亚·罗兰美艳依旧

 Oscar winning icon¹ Sophia Lauren is opening what she calls her trunk of secrets for the first time in a memoir² titled “Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, My Life.”  She is revealing her extraordinary rise out of a desperately³ poor childhood to becoming an international screen goddess to her relationships with her leading men. ABC’s Chris Connelly sat down with her for a rare one-on-one. 

 

After more than 60 years as an actress, timeless screen goddess Sophia Loren is sharing her story, her memoir “Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow” chronicling her earliest days in Italy amid poverty and war, painful even now to talk about. 

 

“For me it was very difficult because it was hard. I went through a lot with my family, of course.”

 

Acting⁴ was her refuge. Her depth of feeling would won her a best actress Oscar for "Two Women.“ 

 

"It’s amazing. It's a book, it's a dream. It’s a dream.”

 

She would bewitch her co-stars, such as Cary grant. The Italian Carlo Ponte would be the love of her life, a life-long marriage that would produce two sons. 

 

“I always think about Cary with the great, great tenderness. We became friends, sometimes even a little more.” 

 

“He asked you to marry him.”

 

“There are moments in life that you have to decide. I wanted a family, I wanted children. I wanted to be in my country.”

 

A 1957 Hollywood party led to this infamous⁵ photo. As she eyed the dangerously revealing neckline of Jane Mansfield, a moment parodied⁶ by "Modern Family”. 

 

"She was very preoccupied⁷, because she was bending too much, and maybe something would have happened, but fortunately it didn't. 

 

At 80, she understands the ageing process, but hopes that process will resist the urge to look younger. 

 

“In my age, we’d never thought about plastic surgery. I think it's always wrong because I like myself. I like my skin. I don't want anybody to take it away from me. You have to live the life you have. And if you have the luck to look well even at 80 years old, then you can be happy.”

 

“Not all of us will be blessed to look like this when we're 80.”
