Born Sept. 20, 1934, in Rome, Sophia Loren endured a childhood of poverty before modeling and beauty pageants brought her to the attention of producer (and future husband) Carlo Ponti. Loren quickly achieved stardom in Italy, but it wasn't until she appeared in Vittorio De Sica's L'Oro di Napoli (1954) that she received international notice.After signing a multipicture deal with Paramount, Loren began to catch on in America with films such as 1958's Houseboat (with Cary Grant) and It Started in Naples (with Clark Gable).
