Sophia Loren grateful for public’s affection
ROME — Film legend Sophia Loren is recovering from successful surgery for a leg fracture after she fell in her Switzerland home, an agent for the 89-year-old Italian actor said Monday.
Agent Andrea Giusti said in an email that Loren fell in a bathroom on Sunday and the surgery was performed later that day. The operation “went very well,” Giusti said.
The agent didn’t immediately say which bone was broken. Italian state TV network Rai said she fractured a thigh bone.
Loren has lived in a
Swiss villa near Lake Geneva for decades. Earlier this month, she appeared, looking radiant, with Italian designer Giorgio Armani in Venice at a fashion show held on the sidelines of the city’s annual film festival.
She celebrated her 89th birthday last week.
