USophie wayengumntwana ongekho mthethweni, ngoko intombazana yayakhulela kwintsapho ephantsi. Utata washiya intsapho emva kokuzalwa kwentombazana, kwaye umama walahlekelwa ubisi. Ekugqibeleni, ukuze loo ntombazana ingafi, ugogo wakhe waqasha umhlengikazi wakhe wamanzi ngemali yokugqibela.
Ngebudeni bemfazwe, walimala, kodwa wasinda. Ekubuntwaneni, ukumkanikazi ozayo wezikrini wayehlekisiwe, ekhumbuza rhoqo ukuba wayengumntwana ongekho mthethweni, ngoko ke, wayemude kwaye encinci (kwakungekho imali eyaneleyo yokutya okuqhelekileyo).
Emva kwexesha, u-Lauren ovela kwinqaba elibi wajika waba yintombazana enhle kwaye eneminyaka eyi-14 ubudala wanikwa ukuba atshade naye ngutitshala wemfundo.
Unina wentombazana wenqabe u titshala, wayeqonda ukuba intombi yakhe yayingenza ngcono. Wathumela intombi yakhe kwingcintiswano yobuhle bendawo (ingubo yenziwe kwiphatho elidala, kwaye izicathulo ezigugu zenziwe ngepeyinti eqhelekileyo). USophie waba ngumqhubi waloo khuphiswano.
Xa uneminyaka eyi-15, u-Lauren omhle, endaweni kunye nonina, wasuka eNaples, waya eRome, babengenayo imali. Ekuqaleni, intombazana enhle kunye nomama wayo wokubetha bathathwa kuphela kwisihlwele.
Ngowe-1951, kwelinye leeklasi zasebusuku ezikufutshane neColosseum, uSophie wayeyindoda yabangqingili, wayeneminyaka eyi-17 kwaye wasuswa kwiindawo ezithandwayo ngelo xesha. Kwakule ndawo iqela elitshatileyo, watshata uCarlo Ponty, uyise wabantwana ababini, wabona uLauren okokuqala. Umvelisi wamangaliswa yintombazana waza wanikela ngokukhawuleza kweso sikhephe inqaku apho wayecebisa uSophie ukuba eze kwi-studio yefilimu ngosuku olulandelayo.
Ngomso intombazana yafika kwi-studio yefilimu. Ngelo xesha uPonti wayedume ngokukwazi kwakhe ukuvula iinkwenkwezi. ULauren osemncinci wayecinga ukuba ngoku ihlabathi lonke liza kuba seenyaweni zakhe, kodwa kuya kuba kamva, kwaye ngoku umvelisi omncinci wancinci wancenga ukuba intombazana ilahlekelwe isisindo, ilungise isimo sempumlo, isebenze intetho, kwaye emva kokuba ucinge ngomsebenzi we-movie actrice.
U-Sophie, ukutshatyalaliswa ngokwenene, kuba kude nanamhla akukho mntu wayenokungabaza ubuhle bakhe kwaye ngokukhethekileyo wamcebisa ukuba anciphise umzimba. Nangona le ntombazana yayimpofu, kodwa yaqonda ngokucacileyo ukuba umbukeli akazange amqonde njengokuba kunjalo, ngoko akunakwenzeka ukuba uya kuqonda ukuba unomzimba omncinci ngesimo sepumlo esilungisiwe, ngoko wenqaba umniki-mveliso ngokutshintsha ukubonakala.
UCarlo wayesebenzela intombi intliziyo enenkani. Waqesha ootitshala bakhe waza wabuyela intombazana ukuba abe ngumfundisi wangempela. Nguye le ndoda eyamcebisa ukuba akhethe igama lakhe, uLauren, ngokuqhagamshelana negama lakhe.
Ekuqaleni umvelisi kunye newadi yakhe babengenalo uthando omnye komnye, kodwa ekugqibeleni uPonti noSophie baqala ukudibana.
UCarlo ulungelelanise, wayenelinye icala elincinci elincinci kwaye elithemba ngokubamba njengenkosikazi, ngakolunye uhlangothi, umfazi kunye nabantwana bakhe, ngoko akazange abize uSophie ukuba atshate. Le meko yashintsha ngokuphawulekayo ngo-1957 ngexesha lokwenza umfanekiso kwi-Hollywood yomdwebo othi "Ukuziphakamisa nokunyamekela" noFrank Sinatra noCary Grant. Phakathi kukaLauren noGrant kwakukho intlanzi kwaye kwakumangalisa ukuba babenomdlova.
La mahemuhemu afika ePonti, kwaye wagqiba ekubeni amenzele umnikelo kuqala. Ngexesha lokubhiyozela iminyaka eyi-20, uPonti wenza isiphakamiso kwintombazana, kwaye wavuma. Kwakukho enye i-snag - uPonti wayetshatile, kwaye ngaloo mihla e-Italiya yamaKatolika, umtshato wawunqatshelwe, kwaye ngolunye usuku ngexesha lokutshintshana wayeba u-Lauren kwaye baya eMexico, apho bafumana khona (ngokuqinisekileyo, kungekho ngokomthetho).
Emva kokubuyela ekhaya, abathandi babenobungqina bokuthi umtshato wabo wawungekho mthethweni, kwaye uPonti wavula isigwebo kwi-bigamy. ULauren wayedinga ukuxothwa. Ngendlela ethile ukulungisa le meko, abasanda kutshata baya kuPapa, kodwa akabanako ukubanceda, ngenxa yeminyaka eyi-9 ezayo baya kuguquka kumazwe ahlukeneyo ukuphepha ubulungisa.
Ngeli xesha, u-Lauren wayekhatywe nazo zonke iiHollywood ezithandekayo, iifilimu kunye nokuthatha inxaxheba kuye kwakuthandwa kakhulu, kodwa umyeni wakhe, onjengaye, waqhubeka ebizwa ngo-Italy wasekuqaleni. Ngenxa yoko, kugqitywe isigqibo sokuba utshintshe ubemi, ukuze ukwazi ukutshata ngokusemthethweni. UPonty, umfazi wakhe wokuqala kunye noLauren baba yizifundo zaseFransi, ukuze kube lula ukuphelisa umtshato ngokusemthethweni. Ngowe-1966, uLauren noPonti baphinde bashada ngokusemthethweni. Umtshato wabo osemthethweni wabangela ukuba loo mbhangqwana usebenzise uLoren obini, owaphazamisa ingqalelo kuSophie wangempela.
Ngethuba lokufowunelwa kwi-movie "Izolo, Namhlanje, ngomso" iqabane lakhe lalifanekisela isondo ngo-Italy uMarcello Mastroianni. Bonke abafazi base-Italy babemphupha ngaye, kodwa uLauren akazange awele phantsi kwesipelo sakhe, nangona kwakukho iindumko zobuhlobo babo obusondeleyo. UPonti akazange asabele ngolu hlobo lwamahemuhemu, njengoko wayeqinisekile ngokunyaniseka kwakhe kwintanda yakhe.
USophia Loren waqhubeka ekwenzeni iifilimu, wafumana ukuqonda umhlaba. Nangona ukuba uLauren wayaziwa, waphumelela kwaye wayemthanda, wayengenakukhulelwa ixesha elide. Emva kokutshatyalaliswa kwezinto ezine, oogqirha bamnqabela ukuba akhulelwe. Nangona kunjalo, kwakukho ugqirha omnye owamcebisa ukuba achithe konke ukukhulelwa embhedeni kwaye mhlawumbi umntwana wakhe uya kuhlala ephila. Kwaye kwenzeka ummangaliso - inyanga ezintandathu kamva uSophie wazala umntwana wakhe wokuqala, uKalo, kunye neminyaka emine kamva unyana kaEduardo.
Nangona wayekhulile, uLauren angakwazi ukuphazamisa nawuphi na umdlali omncinane. Ngomnyaka we-2007 wabulala ikhalenda yePirelli. Lo mdlali uqhubeka ehlala kwaye evuyisa abalandeli bakhe, encwadini yakhe utyhile iimfihlelo zobuhle bakhe obungapheliyo.
