Today we look at one of the all-time beauties from the 1950s - Gina Lollobrigida. I've always been aware of La Lollo, but recently I started watching some of her old flicks (having only previously seen "Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell").
Wow, is she sexy! I may just have to agree with the notion that she's the all-time most beautiful and sexy actress. (And this coming from a decades-long Sophia Loren fan). They are very similar, but when viewing them side-by-side, I realized that Sophia has high cheekbones and a Roman nose, neither of which is found on Miss Lollobrigida. I'm going to have to give the nod to Gina.
Her movies I have seen:
*1968 - Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell
*1964 - Woman of Straw
1962 - Imperial Venus
*1961 - Come September
1961 - Go Naked in the World
1959 - Solomon and Sheba
+*1959 - The Law
1956 - Trapeze
1954 - Woman of Rome
1953 - The Wayward Wife
1952 - Beauties of the Night
1950 - The White Line
1950 - Miss Italia
+ best bet
* would watch again
Her movies I'd like to see:
1965 - The Dolls
1958 - Fast and Sexy
1955 - Beautiful But Dangerous
1954 - Frisky
1954 - Flesh and the Woman
1953 - Bread, Love and Dreams
1952 - Wife for a Night
