SOPHIA LOREN | 87

Another living legend in her own right is Sophia Loren. Her acting and modeling career has inspired a lot of people from the early days until today. At 87, it cannot be denied that she still has it. Born Sofia Villani Sciocolone on September 20, 1934, the acting legend was a daughter of a piano teacher and a nobleman who was absent for most of her life. Because her mother was an aspiring actress, she, too, had a great interest in becoming a movie star early on.

Sophia started in the business by joining a pageant. At 16, she then began acting. She is one of the remaining stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood. She has received a lot of accolades and credits, thanks to her exceptional talents. She was named the 21st greatest female star of Classic Hollywood Cinema by the American Film Institute in 1999, and the only living actress and the highest-ranked living person on the list.
