Just a taste of the yummy to come... and yes, we do mean come.
According to a German site, the ever-gorgeous Italian superstar Sophia Loren dabbled in the pornographic arts before she met her hero husband Carlo Ponti. I don't read German, but through the translating semi miracle that is AltavistaTranslation - I was able to turn this:
"...Eigentlich war es ihre Mutter, die gerne Schauspielerin werden möchte, doch sie hat kein Glück. Tochter Sofia dagegen hat zumindest Erfolg als Fotomodell. Beim Schönheitswettbewerb entdeckt sie dann ein Filmagent. Doch der Anfang ist schwer. Man versucht, das hübsche junge Talent auszunutzen. Als Sofia Lazzaro wirkt sie in einer großen Anzahl unbedeutender Filme mit. Darunter auch PORNOFILME, doch ihr späterer Ehemann Carlo Ponti kauft alle Filme auf, um mögliche Veröffentlichungen und Skandale zu verhindern..."
into this:
"...Originally it was Sofia’s mum who wanted to become an actress, but she had no luck. Her daughter Sofia in the contrary had at least success as a photo model. She was then discovered at a beauty competition by a film agent. But every start is tough. People tried to exploit the beautiful young talent. As Sofia Lazzaro she does a big number of insignificant movies. Among them also pornographic movies, but her later husband Carlo Ponti buys them all to prevent possible publication and scandals..."
Craig Lindsey, a Houston reviewer with special interests in film and popular music had this to say, "[regarding]Warren G. Harris in his Sophia Loren: A Biography, [he] keeps a surprisingly respectable distance from such matters of Loren's life, like the rumors of prostitution during her youth..."
It's the same thing Andy Warhol said about [Loren] when he met her in N.Y.: "She's a $$High-Class Whore$$!" *Note, $$Whore$$!
An undisclosed "friend" of the family stated, "In the '50s she was just a cheap whore who could be used without a care. She has not had a "friend" in the business, and we tried to make her a 'star'..."
A Loren fellow countryman stated, "We Italians know this story very well and many of Loren's fellow countrymen think she was doing that before, and her notorious respectable "Family-mom-style," it's a fake."
Group of Comrads has been quoted as saying, "Yes, absolutely before becoming a star she was famous amongst Rome's Prostitutes' Johns as a, say, 'oral specialist'"! At least that's what Roman grand-dads claim. Actually, Roman people suffered from hunger after WWII and many girls couldn't find any means to fill their stomachs other than by prostituting themselves; such may have been the case of La Loren. I've got this confidence from a friend of mine who is an old times actor's brother -- Do you remember that guy in Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow who played the role of the kid who fell in love with the prostitute Sophia but had to give her up for becoming a priest?"
Just a taste of the yummy to come... and yes, we do mean come.
An Eyewitness who wished to remain unnamed stated, "[I] thought this was common knowledge. It was way before she was a 'star.' She was a fine piece of ass when she was younger, and I've seen clips of one of the porn flicks she made, it was in black and white, very grainy, but you sure as hell could tell it was her."
Mr. Onanymous stated, "Some years ago a British soldier stationed in Italy in 1945 claimed there were the naughty playing cards passing in his barrack with an adult [then 17-year-old] Loren "smiling vertically" on them. Being in the know about making her way "Per ASSpera Ad Astra, there is nothing extraordinary, outstanding and out of the commmon in such "news." That is not the question... But, according to her 'metryka-matricula', she would have been 11-years-old when posing for those pics. So, her real birth date is not 1934 but 1928, and today she is almost 80!"
One who knows the truth wanted it stated firmly that, "Sofia Scicolone and her ex-prostitute single mother lived in abject poverty in the war-torn slums of Naples. At the age of fourteen she's becoming a model for so-called 'fotoromanzl' and turned to 'acting' in the fumetti photo magazines with comic-strip-style stories featuring soap-opera plots and balloon dialogue. Her character was most often that of a gypsy vamp, and her poses on one occasion earned her the attentions of the Italian police censor. At the same time she was allegedly appearing in a number (34 for 5 years: ~7 films per year !.. ) of uncredited bit parts in risque films, some of which were pure pornography. Since the age of 15 she began entering area beauty contests, where she met Ponti, who was one of the judges and who made her his own kept-woman right after that. So, La Loren has been programmed to become a whore since a birth. This destiny had been prepared to her initially. It is enough to look at the past of an imaginary actress ( it's better to say 'fellactress': 'fellatio' + 'actress' ), who, for the strange reason, has always preserved some 'private moments' of her life from everybody so carefully, that even her own diary, she started to write which, was later torn to pieces, and the every smallest scrap of it were burned out... Why ?.. Well, because for the pretty girls-pretenders trying to make the way on the screen - then and now - there was the only possibility to do this: through a pornography and employment of a similar sort. Why the leading role in "La Ciociara" was stolen at the genious Magnani and presented to putanish Loren ? For the very simple reasons, which were wonderfully stacked in the same simple formula: "38C-24-37". Here its mamma, who had worked as the street-walker up to old age (it is authentically known), trading in herself for a half of a loaf, and also selling the minor - 15 y.o. - Sofia (the idea having come to the enterprising mommy right after victories of the Sciccolone-junior over competition of beauty "Princess of the sea") to the first comer-cross and, in general, to anybody and everybody who was not afraid to be arrested by police under clause " Seduction juvenile". Here also have appeared semiclandestine "fumetti" - "mouth-watering" "photo-novels" ( like "Sogno", for example ) on the pages of which the future Diva, under a thick layer of the make-up, doing her more adult than she was actually, and under "a creative pseudonym" Sofie Lazzaro, also "creatively" "struggled for respectability" under the recommendations evidently resulted and in detail stated in the entertaining grant named "Kama Sutra." Here both have once flown and instantly disappeared from the sales-sheet of E-bay the rare "film-cutting" (analogue of well-known vintage pornofilm with "The Queen of a casting couch" Joan Crawford) with the 16 y.o. "competitor for the world glory", showing her "Black Orchid" in front of the filming camera and with subsequent "testing" of her on "suitability for a profession." And what about Ponti... Ponti has just became simply the next client of the cinebitch, carved her way by own breast -- and by her mouth and the other parts of a body -- to the big cinema...
Besides that, try to care for her Unofficial Biography which can be found on Amazon.co.uk..."
