Screen siren who made Marilyn look like Shirley Temple:
Gina Lollobrigida drove men from Howard Hughes to Fidel
Castro crazy with lust, and feuded with Sophia Loren
over who had the bigger bust. But anyone who crossed
her felt the lash of her tongue
. . .
She WAS a super-hot item in the 50s/60s - had that
"romance countries" personality that blew rivals
to dust.
She kinda got her start in an odd, popular, Italian
media called "fotoromantzo" ... it's kind of like
manga - but with actors photographed doing the
relevant scenes. Envision stills from a movie or
romantic soap-opera - with 'speech bubbles' added.
Her look/attitude quickly attracted attention.
In her 90s she admitted that she was a difficult
personality and that's probably why she never
found a "true love". Like Cher, she DID lust for
the handsome younger guys :-)
After movies she made a career out of artistic
and celeb photography.
'Gina' was her middle name. The "Lollobrigida"
is apparently real.
She had a famous "feud" with Sophia Loren over
who had the better tits. The only leading man
she didn't like was Frank Sinatra - said he
had zero sense of humor. Howard Hughes was
super-hot for her, but she rejected him - and
sort-of regretted it later, saying he was
actually a very interesting man. In her case
the Hughes money probably was not a factor
or she'd have never rebuffed him in the
first place.
