Curio: Happy Birthday Sophia

Alexa here. Sophia Loren turns 77 today. Hearing Sofia Vergara on the Emmy red carpet extolling the virtues of guacamole, marshmallows and cotton candy, I could hear echoes of the elder Sophia's famous spaghetti line.  All bombshells owe a debt to their forbears, and Sophia is, in my opinion, the most formidable of them all.  So, in honor of her birthday, here is some eye candy to take the place of those marshmallows.

 A small selection of the seemingly endless images of the icon available at Life magazine's site.

Vintage print celebrating Sophia's Oscar winning role in Two Women, available here.

In other topic Colombia just announced it`s submission for best foreign film: THE COLORS OF THE MOUNTAIN, a really beautiful film. I hope the academy will like it.

I believe it's Maggie Cheung's birthday today, too. Therefore, can we have a retrospective of Maggie's work, or greatest hits, pls?

Love to see more about 'In the Mood for Love', 'Clean', and other work.

C'mon, Nathaniel, you know you want to do this!
