Taking Names
Sophia in tears
Sophia Loren cried at an awards ceremony Saturday as she recalled her climb to fame from the gritty Neapolitan suburb where she grew up. "Lady History was generous to the girl from Pozzuoli, and I thank her together with all of you," Miss Loren said, her voice breaking with sobs, at the award ceremony in Rome's City Hall.
The city honored the actress with the Campidoglio (City Hall) prize, describing her as "not only an icon of cinema, but a very synonym of Italy, of that Italy made up of elegance, passion, genius, humanity and beauty."
Miss Loren, 73, wore a low-cut, tailored outfit to the ceremony in the Italian capital, which is hosting an international film festival.

I think some females attempting to break into cinema should want to live up to Sophia Loren's standards. She certainly set the bar way up there.
