Sophia Loren, born Sofia Costanza Brigida Villani Scicolone, is an Italian actress who has worked in both Italy and the United States for over 70 years. This is her in a scene from the 1954 Italian film Two Nights with Cleopatra (also known as Due notti con Cleopatra). Sophia Loren, born Sofia Costanza Brigida Villani Scicolone, is a celebrated Italian actress with a career spanning seven decades.
In Two Nights with Cleopatra, Loren plays the dual role of Cleopatra and a look-alike slave girl named Nisca. The film is a comedic take on the story of Cleopatra, featuring Loren in a more lighthearted role than some of her later, more dramatic performances. Loren's early career included roles as an extra and model before gaining prominence in films like The Gold of Naples (1954).
She achieved international fame and critical acclaim, becoming the first person to win an Academy Award for Best Actress for a non-English language performance in Two Women (1960). Still as beautiful as ever, at the age of 61 she appeared in the light comedy Grumpier old men in 1995.
