Sultry Sophia Loren Makes Hollywood's Stars Sit Up
By RALPH COOPER
It was inevitable to anyone who has met her that Sophia Loren would set Hollywood back on its heels.
It was a thoughtful, anxious Sophia who talked to me in the middle of the Libyan Desert while making "The Legend of the Lost" about her first trip to America.

Martine and Gina escaped-but others were drawn into the giant mill and groomed and moulded to a common pattern., and Sophia had no desire to be groomed.
