Sophia Loren is one of those people who doesn’t need an introduction, so I’m just going to skip the boring intros with the whole “she was a screen goddess” yada yada and get to the good stuff. From her relationships – some public, some secret – to her stint in jail to being the victim of a jewelry heist, this is the less-known yet more interesting side of Sophia Loren.
Believe it or not, the Italian actress is now 86 years old (July 2021), which means she’s had decades of juicy stories accumulating about her. Her life was noteworthy from early on, too, like how when she was a young girl, she was nicknamed “Toothpick” during the famine years of WWII. But boy, did she grow into herself and show all those school kids who’s boss.
