At 90, she'd be a fairly reasonable choice in a thematic DDP team, I never realized she's so much older than Sophia Loren. On the other hand, she's got two living sisters (b. 1924 & 1929) and still giving interviews – what do we know about her health? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davey Jones' Locker 1,325 Posted July 10, 2017 Hmmmm.... After some celebrity weirdness about a "proxy marriage" in which someone stood in for Gina at her own wedding ceremony, a 2015 article reported that: "... an attorney who had represented Lollobrigida for several years, Giulia Citani, stepped forward to claim that prior to the ceremony she had traveled with Lollobrigida to Barcelona, where the prospective bride signed papers to authorize the ceremony. “I can tell you she is legally married,” she told The Mail on Sunday. “You have to remember that Gina is 85 so she sometimes has trouble remembering things.” At the same time, however, the attorney added, “I don’t really want to go into too much detail as I can’t betray my lawyer’s oath—also I no longer represent Gina as we had a disagreement.” Lollobrigida claims that Rigau and others engaged in a conspiracy, over which she now has multiple legal actions pending. “Lawyers in Rome, lawyers in Barcelona, lawyers in Monte Carlo—lawyers everywhere!” she says with exasperation. Knowing the bare outline of these bizarre events, one can understand what led Lollobrigida’s son last March to request a court in Rome to appoint an administrator to take charge of his mother’s business decisions. “I fear she may no longer be capable of handling her affairs by herself,” said Skofic, who develops scientific-information systems in the field of plant genetics. Until a few years ago, he lived with his wife, Maria Grazia Fantasia, a journalist, and their son, Dimitri, now 20, in an apartment in Lollobrigida’s villa; after the couple separated, he moved to another home in Rome, Gina says. “The [legal] action was not ‘against’ her, but it was an attempt to protect her from people who have estranged her from her family,” Skofic elaborated recently. “It was two years since my mother had allowed me [and my son] to see her…. I am worried.”" **** On her son Milko’s legal action: “I have a strong character. My son, unfortunately, no. It’s completely wrong what they are doing. It’s disgusting, because I worked all my life and stayed away from scandal. Why should they do this to me? I was so generous to them. “If a person is old and their brain isn’t functioning anymore, it’s O.K. to get help for that person. An administrator can be good in that case. But my brain is working very well. So I don’t need anyone to put their nose in my business. If I need an aspirin, I should have to ask someone? It’s not right.” On July 9 in Rome, the judge concurred with her. According to the statement Gina’s agent made to the Italian press, the judge found that “Ms. Lollobrigida had no need of an administrator as she is, from a mental point of view, autonomous, coherent and lucid, in the light of an excellent interview with her.” Full article: http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/01/gina-lollobrigida-tabloid-scandal Make of it all what you will. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
