Because so many want to be in the front not being beautiful, so they have to fake it. Not everybody is born beautiful, not everybody is born with great voice etc. This seems even some form of protest against dishonest order of nature.

When I was about 7, someone mistook my mom for Sofia... I yelled, NO, she is my mom! One of many reasons I called my son Carl was also because my mom loved the name Carlo (Ponti, her husband who discovered her). This interview was just splendid in real time and again, now.

My mother grew up in Trieste, Italy during the war. She had so many stories about the tunnels and many other things, both tragic and wonderful. Her family was "upper middle class" if you will, and the Germans took everything from them. Her father, an Italian citizen of German decent, who was a professional stone cutter and looked like Paul Newman, refused the join the Party and they took him away to a work camp (not a concentration camp) because he refused to join. He actually escaped three or four times and made his way home to a community building they had put the rest of her family in. The Germans would show up within a week or so every time looking for him and take him back to the camp. They saw a lot of atrocities, most too horrific to talk about here.
