I am not Italian but I grew up watching Italian TV. All the movies, all the concerts , shows . It was like i was watching my country's TV. Italy was the only country that kept us connected with the western world. Albania is so close to Italy and most of Albanians speak Italian. I always admired Sofia Loren. Watching her movies took me to another world. God bless her. God bless Italy.

I met Carlo Ponti and the two sons in Venice, spoke to them 5 minutes. Extraordinary people , their grace, humble people and beauty.

At 57 then, she was still drop dead gorgeous.

One of the most beautiful women in this world!

Sophia Loren is an Italian icon, a talent, and a beauty icon too. Elegance distinguish her everywhere. What a great woman.

Born on September 20, 1934, Sophia Loren is celebrating her 85 birthday today (Sept 20, 2019)

Sophia is a true inspiration to all women. She is pure classical beauty.

In addition to this honorary Oscar--30 years after Loren won for Two Women--it fills me with such joy to watch the standing ovation she received, most importantly perhaps the actresses in the audience who just looked at Loren almost spellbound by her beauty and talent. You can see in their faces that they are witnessing an icon of film. What a display of ultimate respect and admiration shown by so many others in the audience. Sophia, you are a gem. Brava, Sophia Nazionale.

Carlo Ponti Jr. attended USC where he majored in classical music...He is now a symphony conductor who regularly appears throughout Southern California...

2:48 Gorgeous runs in the family ;)

Proud to be Italian Proud of Sofia Loren Proud to be Neapolitan ...

i'm french and i'm jealous of italian people because of Sofia Loren . She is a great person and her heart is so lovely ; long life to her

My God, the first women I ever fell in love with! The class, the beauty, and a body that drove this 62 year old man crazy. She is the reason I watched foreign films as a kid. All my love and respect for you Ms.Loren!!

The most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life.....

She was SO FINE! God bless her, my fellow Italian! Just stunning here at 57!

She is always beautiful, always elegant.

She speaks so wonderful and gracefully

One of the most beautiful women of all time !!! Arabesque brought me here. In fact, I'm watching on TV right now. Sophia just takes my breath away !!

I was captivated by this beautiful and talented Italian woman as a child. Recently saw Two Women and was staggered by her talent. She richly deserved this honour.

As a teenager I had a crush on Sophia Loren, most beautiful woman I've ever seen on screen.

She earned it. A beautiful and talented lady.

She was really one of the most beautiful women that walked the face of the earth.

🎊Happy Birthday Sofia 89 today 20-09-2023🎉🎈🎊 Wish her all the best! I love her! Beauty♥️

Gorgeous classy Italian lady, molto bella.

When Hollywood was classy and beautiful

Sophia Is Pure Classical Beauty And An Inspiration To Many Women.

The most beautiful actress ever to make a movie.

As Loren aficianados are aware, she and Gregory Peck co-starred in Stanley Donen's film "Arabesque" in 1966 and had great chemistry. Loren is still making movies and going strong.

I WILL NEVER FORGET THE EYES OF SOPHIA LOREN, PRECIOUS JEWELS

Miss Loren was one of the three greatest actresses of the last sixty years. Combining both great beauty and talent. The other two were Vivian Leigh and Elizabeth Taylor.

I am not Italian, but watching Sofia Loren, I wish I was. She is a legend with no equal.

She was 57 years old at the time of this Honorary Oscar (1991)

she speaks really good English..almost no accent

she is Hollywood royalty, yet she is so humble. a true Icon, with real beauty and real talent!!!

Truly a epic and classic Queen of womanly beauty! To see her walking down that stair case was a visual experience. Awesome.

She made movies with some of the greatest of them all: John Wayne, Clark Gable, Alan Ladd, Burt Lancaster, Frank Sinatra, Charlton Heston, was an extra in one Robert Taylor movie, Qvo Vadis.

OMG her sons!

Omg those boys...gorgeous

A class actress all the way, Miss Sophia Loren, what handsome sons

What a stunner. They don't make them like her any more. Such a shame there will never be another golden age. When men were men and woman were woman. Total class!

Beatiful and stunning Sophia Loren. Is a classic beauty.

How gorgeous is she?!?! And such a class act!

SHE SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

Please! Whats is the name of the background music when Sophia walks down the stage, thanks!

Semplicemente divina! Un orgoglio per noi italiani

She is Beautiful and a good example of a woman, She married the director Carlo Ponti. what a great couple together since the beginning. Her sons are very handsome take after her mother.

With all the lovely women in the world, well, there's really just Sophia Loren. Sometimes I try to think if any other star is comparable. Nope. Not even in the ball park.

I always loved her.

“Taught me to conjugate the verb To Love’, brilliant

I've always loved her in the movie " It Started in Naples " with Clark Gable ..

Grazie Sophia ❤

She came to see my/our show in Paris...wanted to know if my hair was real or a wig! Mine is real. Sophia always wore wigs. Her beauty shall remain unmatched.

She is so beautiful! I love her movies!!

Now that's a movie star

Lindo! Gente sofisticada é outra história!

What a beauty. So elegant. She deserves this award. 🙂

STILL A BEAUTY HERE.....but of course we all age

Bellissima ❤ sempre 🎉🎉🎉

Classic Beauty & Charm.

To those of you who think people like Minaj, Swift, Gaga, Beyoncé, et al are beautiful or talented, beware. You are about to experience a level of beauty and elegance, of refined sophistication and manners unlike anything you've ever seen. Put your googles on and set yourself ready for Heavy Stun. A lady is coming on stage of the type you'll never really understand.

wonderful, wonderful. And a real human beeing. How many times we see that today at the Academy Awards?

Quelle belle femme je l'adore ❤❤

what movie is this music from? beautiful and moving perfect for sophia!

Love this Lady!

if looks could kill? i'm dead from the handsome looks of Sophia sons!! wow

Sophia is the most beautiful of all women. I love her😍

Does anyone know where the music she enters to comes from? It's been played several times at the Oscars.

I love this actress. The film (The Houseboat) Is one of the best. Thank you Dear Sophia Loren

Sophia is exactly what she said about herself - "I'm OK". She is real woman (despite some corrections on her face, but for her profession they are necessary). She is earthy, sensible and faithful. The real charm and beauty in the world of cinema is Marilyn Monroe, though. She is the one.

Bravos,Madame. Vi3us etes au fond de mon coeur❤❤.

Gosh, I love Sophia :)

She´s one of a kind! A true super star! Pure elegance and Beauty align with great acting skills! She was my father´s fav next after my mother of course :-)

Her sons are very handsome. Good genes.

è un'attrice immensa. Ma avrei tanto voluto un oscar anche per Marcello Nastroianni. è stato candidato tre volte ( Divorzio all'italiana, Una giornata particolare e Oci ciornie) e purtroppo non ha mai vinto. Ma una carriera costellata di successi come la sua meritava un Oscar onorario. ( non dimentichiamo La dolce vita, Otto e mezzo, Ieri oggi e domani, tutti film osannati in tutto il mondo e alcuni anche vincitori di Oscar). Peccato!

Momma Mia..... That's one beautiful lady!!!

What a legend!

So gorgeous Sophia then and even now, she did alot of good films I enjoyed all of them,

Oh...!!! So elegant and she speachs a nicely english...

Sophia loren wonderful and the best star in the world.
