Sophia Loren stayed in bed for eight months—twice—just to become a mother. In this intimate 1999 conversation, the screen legend reveals the fierce determination behind her family life, confirms the rumours about Cary Grant, and takes us into the kitchen to prepare the dish she loves most.
While the world saw a sex symbol, Sophia saw herself as a survivor. She opens up to Dini Petty about hiding in train tunnels during the war, the poverty that taught her grandmother to cook with "fantasy," and why meeting her husband Carlo Ponti at age 16 wasn't love at first sight—but something much deeper. This rare broadcast captures a Hollywood icon at her most maternal, vulnerable, and authentically Italian.
