Sophia Loren has successful leg surgery

ROME — An agent for film legend Sophia Loren says the Italian actor is recovering from successful surgery for a leg fracture after she fell in her home in Switzerland.

The agent said in an email that Loren fell in a bathroom on Sunday and the surgery performed later that day “went very well.”

Loren broke both a thigh bone and a hip, according to the agent.

Loren has lived in a Swiss villa near Lake Geneva for decades.

She recently appeared with Italian designer Giorgio Armani as she attended a fashion show in Venice on the sidelines of the lagoon city’s film festival.

Last week, she celebrated her 89th birthday.
