Film legend Sophia Loren has successful surgery
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-yearold 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 and now we only need to wait,” Giusti said.
The actress broke her hip and a thigh bone, the agent said. It wasn’t immediately clear when Loren would be discharged from the hospital.
McCallum, star of ‘The Man From U.N.C.L.E.’ and ‘NCIS,’ dies
Actor David McCallum, who became a teen heartthrob in the hit series “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” in the 1960s and was the eccentric medical examiner in the popular “NCIS” 40 years later, has died. He was 90.
McCallum died Monday of natural causes surrounded by family at New York Presbyterian Hospital, CBS said in a statement.
Scottish-born McCallum had been doing well appearing in such films “A Night to Remember” (about the Titanic), “The Great Escape” and “The Greatest Story Ever Told” (as Judas). But it was “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” that made the blond actor with the Beatlesque haircut a household name in the mid-’60s.
McCallum’s work with “U.N.C.L.E.” brought him two Emmy nominations, and he got a third as an educator struggling with alcoholism in a 1969 Hallmark
Hall of Fame drama called “Teacher, Teacher.”
