Industry Reviews Screen legend Sophia Loren has led a colorful life, and Harris's . . . presentation of it makes for entertaining reading. She was born Sofia Scicolone, an illegitimate child in Fascist Italy. . . . Sophia's beauty and physical attributes brought her immediate success in films but she proved that she could act as well and eventually won an Academy Award. On the personal side, her marriage to [Carlo] Ponti in 1957 was not recognized by Italian law because of Ponti's previous Mexican divorce, and shady financial dealings resulted in Sophia herself spending 30 days in jail. Harris covers all of this with considerable ease, for the most part avoiding gossip. An assessment of her appeal and talents would have made this a better biography, but it is one that will be enjoyed by fans and is recommended for public libraries.
Annotation copyright H.W. Wilson Company. Tribby
This biography will please neither Loren's fervent admirers nor those seeking gossip. Harris is both bitchy (commenting on Loren's ageing body in Pret-a-Porter) and coy about the star's supposed romances with Cary Grant and Jack Kennedy. This is an awkwardly written book characterised by such inelegant translations from Italian as 'I am waiting a baby.'
