Sophia's looks would have literally been one of the only ways they could feed their family, let alone what kind of abuse a vulnerable young girl (with THAT face and body) would have been subjected to. It's truly amazing what she made of herself, though it also makes it less surprising that she would be so amazing in Two Women.<br /><br />As an aside, Audrey Hepburn's story growing up in the Netherlands during WW2 is really interesting, though not as hardscrabble as Sophia's. While Audrey was born to a fancy, titled family it didn't spare them from starving with everyone else while the Netherlands was blockaded by the Germans. She even helped raise money for the resistance by doing secret recitals.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11764196773056647698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-84197613966396969722012-12-05T13:43:40.990-08:002012-12-05T13:43:40.990-08:00If this is Sophia Loren then she is one strong wom...If this is Sophia Loren then she is one strong woman.
