Actress Sophia Loren recovering following surgery for broken hip

Italian actress and restaurateur Sophia Loren is recovering from surgery after suffering a recent fall at her home in Geneva, a rep for the actress confirmed Monday.

The rep confirmed the screen siren, 89, broke her hip and femur after falling in her bathroom.

The operation, which took place Sunday, “went very well and now we only need to wait,” agent Andrea Giusti said in an email to the Associated Press.

Renowned for films such as “Two Women,” “Ready to Wear” and “Nine,” the Italian screen legend most recently acted in the 2020 Netflix drama “The Life Ahead,” which was directed by her son Edoardo Ponti.

In 1962, Loren became the first actor to win an Academy Award for a non-English-speaking performance.

The Rome native celebrated her birthday Sept. 20 and was spotted this month at the Armani fashion show held during the 80th Venice International Film Festival.

Before her accident, Loren was reportedly scheduled to open the fourth location in her restaurant chain on Tuesday in Bari.

In 2021, the first outpost of Sophia Loren Original Italian Food opened in Florence. A collaboration with Michelin-rated chef Gennaro Esposito, the chain specializes in cuisine inspired by the region of Campania, Italy.
