...statuesque, but that barely does the young Loren justice; so iconic is her voluptuousness, it would be fairer to call statues Sophiaesque. She was married to producer Carlo Ponti, but she didn't need a patron to get good roles. She was "The Miller's Beautiful Wife," a Mario Camerini comedy co-starring de Sica and a calflike Mastroianni. She appeared in de Sica's "Gold of Naples" with Mangano and the clown Toto...
