Yesterday, Today, Tomorrowis Sophia Loren's definitive
autobiography, revealing her personal journey from the hardship of
her childhood in Naples to her life as a screen legend, sharing
stories of work, love, and family. Each chapter begins with a
letter, a document, a photograph, or object that prompts her
reminiscences. In her own words, these memoirs originated as,
"Unpublished memories, curious anecdotes, tiny secrets told, all of
which spring from a box found by chance, a precious treasure trove
filled with emotions, experiences, adventures." In her incredible
life story, Loren vividly recounts her difficult childhood in
Naples during World War II, remembers her parents and their
tempestuous relationship, and reveals the pain of growing up in her
grandparents' house with her single, unmarried mother and younger
sister. She tells how she got her start by winning a beauty pageant
('La regina del mare') and how her ambition drove her success in
cinema before revealing the influence of the producer Carlo Ponti,
who cast her in her early roles and later became her husband. Loren
takes us behind the scenes of the movies, her early stardom and
move to Hollywood revealing intimate and never before shared
stories of her famed costars: Brando, Newman, Burton, Peck, Heston,
and many more.
Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni star in this Italian drama.
Set in 1938, at the time of the first meeting between Hitler and
Mussolini, housewife Antonietta (Loren) stays at home while her
fascist husband Emanuele (John Vernon) goes off to see his idols.
As their building empties to see the dictators parade through the
streets, Antonietta begins a relationship with her homosexual
neighbour Gabriele (Mastroianni) that will change both their lives.
