Sophia Loren

[Sean 5,997]

Multiple fractures to different parts of her hip and femur and had emergency surgery.Yeah probably a serious contender for next years list now.

Would 100% have her on the list if she makes it (With those type of injuries at that age she could go downhill quite quickly) if you pardon the expression

Does Bardot will die before her ? The match is on between these two legends of cinema born in 1934.

I have a feeling sadly that next year we are going to lose Sophia Loren and that would tie in with  @msc hypothesis/idea that years ending in 4 are often littered with very  significant big name deaths.

 

There is no doubt she is a very big and unique icon of cinema and film culture.

Gina Lollobrigida suffered a broken femur the September before she died...

Sophia is the last survivor from the AFI 50 Greatest Stars list complied in 1999. 25 men and women were selected from 250 nominees of both genders. The other living nominees are Ann Blyth, Claire Bloom, Mitzi Gaynor, Rita Moreno, Piper Laurie and Margaret O’Brian.

 

At least one female nominee has died per year since the list was created, the most recent being Gina this past January.

In good condition and not in danger.

Loss of confidence comes usually at that age after such a fall.Plus a slow rehabilitation period often follows.The shock usually ages people too.Plus was the fall an unfortunate accident like a slip OT trip or was it caused by another medical problem such as her heart rate a TIA or osteoarthritis and or osteoporosis. All things to consider.

 

One to keep a very close eye on going forward.

Recovery continues to go "very well"
