A Color Photo of
Actor Sophia Loren

Publicity Photo

Signed by Sophia Loren

Description: In addition to meeting actors and other movie/tv people at science fiction conventions and book festivals, I also attended a number of Hollywood Celebrity shows where you could get memorabilia signed by actors for a (usually) reasonable fee. I checked my invoices and I bought this photo from Moody Books who specialized in having authors and celebrities sign bookplates for Moody to sell. Gil Moody and his wife also collected autographed photos and when they were winding up the business, he also sold their personal collections which included a lot of signed photos. Inscribed 'To Carolyn' by the actor, it looks like the personalization was added to a photo that had already been signed.

About the actor (from wikipedia - partial): Sofia Costanza Brigida Villani Scicolone OMRI (born 20 September 1934), known professionally as Sophia Loren, is an Italian actress, active in her native country and the United States. With a career spanning over 70 years, she was named by the American Film Institute as one of the greatest stars of classical Hollywood cinema, and is one of the last surviving stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood cinema.

Condition: Fine, slight wear to the very tips of the corners, otherwise like new.
