SOPHIA LOREN THE GODDESS OF THE SIXTIES


Soon, in September, 2015 Sophia Loren will be still  appear young. Ordinary people would think she has crossed the line; but, it is an imaginary one, because stars and the sky never age. The Sophia case had started in the 50s, and it is an extraordinary journey that even today feeds the imagination of so many.

Sophia is the beloved daughter of a Roman  emperor, the Egyptian Queen, Cleopatra and also a ”Parisian Madame sans gene." At the same time, she never stopped being a mother  and a daughter who honors her mother, because, Sophia thinks, her success came from the care and the nurturing of her mother she is still mourning.

A wife, a mother, Sophia Lazarus, (her good looks could revive the biblical Lazarus, Italians say) was born out of wedlock and grew up in poverty. To what she owes her success, is still a matter of controversy.  Anyway, she became a goddess of the screen who  had been making so many cry and fall in love. But, as a half-god creature, Sophia remains once far and close, as if she could only respond to so many expectations through human imagination and fantasy. As a star, Sophia falls into the immortal category; she has too many lives to share with a mere mortal public.
