| From slum urchin of Pozzuoli to reigningqueen of the cinema world, here is SophiaLoren s richly personal story--an introspec-tive, candid account of her illegitimacy andpoverty, how she overcame the ravages ofwar, the rebuffs of ,Rome s movie people,the fury of the Catholic Church, and crim-inal prosecution for adultery and publicsinning. There was agony, too, in the choice of a husband between Cary Grant and Carlo Ponti. Her incredible fight to have a child was frustrated by miscarriages and euor- mous physical and emotional suffering. Sophia Loren has made seventy films, with their accompanying triumphs and tribulations. A. E. Hotchner, who wrote Doris Day: Her Own Story and before that Papa Hemingway--both huge best sellers --has again brought a special quality to Sophia: Living and Loving that will make it unique among the personal books of the coming season. This is Sophia, telling you not just what she wants you to know, hut everything-- turning herself inside out and filling the pages with the pain, sorrow, joys, wisdoms, frustrations, and dreams which have con- stituted her life. After Hotchner had fin- ished his four months of daily interviews, she said, "My God, I feel like I ve been through analysis." In effect, that is what happened. And this boo, k--Sophia: Living and Loving--is the triumphant result. |
