Sofia Villani Scicolone at her First Communion in 1942.
At age 15 (1950) she won second place at a Naples beauty pageant.
This picture takes my breath away...
While I am stunned by her outer beauty, I truly admire her for her inner beauty by the commitment she had in her relationship with Carlo Ponti whom she met when she was 15 1/2 years old. They had their obstacles and I have read how she stood by her principles and was committed to her relationship.Apparently she was gangly and nicknamed "Toothpick"! Talk about becoming a woman

So when I think of Sophia Loren I see a woman I revere and seek those qualities in others. That is her beauty and transformation for me.

Sophia Loren
She has said on many occasions that being born into and living with extreme poverty for most of her childhood gave her a strength of character that allowed her to succeed and appreciate every moment she has been given as a human being. Up until Sophia Loren was about 14, she was considered an ugly duckling.
Gorgeous,indeed!
