The 20th century’s most iconic movie diva and Oscar-winning Italian actress, Sophia Loren, underwent surgery on Monday due to a fall at her Geneva home, according to a spokesman for the star.

While he withheld information, he insisted that media reports from Italy were accurate. According to the rumors, she fell accidentally on Sunday at her Geneva home and shattered her hip.
In 1961, Loren received her first Oscar for her sad depiction of a mother caught up in World War II in Vittorio De Sica’s neo-realistic masterpiece “La Ciociara” (Two Women). 1991 saw a career award as the second.
She co-starred in some of the most enduring and popular movies alongside fellow Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni, who passed away in 1996. Along with other legendary actors from the 20th century, she has co-starred in movies alongside Cary Grant, Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra, and Paul Newman.
She had her most recent leading part in the 2020 film “La Vita Davanti a Se” (The Life Ahead).
