Hollywood Icon Gina Lollobrigida Passes Away At Age 95

Gina Lollobrigida, the iconic Italian actress and sex symbol of the 1950s and 60s, passed away at the age of 95 in a hospital in Rome on Monday, January 16, 2023. The cause of her death has not been publicly disclosed at this time.

Lollobrigida, whose real name was Luigina Lollobrigida, was born in Subiaco, Italy in 1927. She began her career as a model before transitioning to acting in the early 1950s. She quickly rose to fame with her performances in a string of Italian and Hollywood films, including Bread, Love and Dreams (1953), Trapeze (1956), and Beatire (1957). She also starred alongside some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Frank Sinatra, Rock Hudson, and Yul Brynner.

She was also known for her stunning beauty, which earned her the title of The Most Beautiful Woman in the World by the press. She was one of the first actresses to be marketed as a sex symbol, and her striking looks and curvaceous figure helped to cement her status as a Hollywood icon.

In addition to her acting career, Gina was also an accomplished photographer and sculptor. She published several books of her photographs and had her sculptures exhibited in galleries around the world.

Despite her success, Lollobrigida was also known for her outspoken personality and her refusal to conform to Hollywood norms. She was a vocal advocate for women’s rights and was an early supporter of the feminist movement.

Gina‘s death is a great loss to the world of entertainment and art. Her performances on screen and her work as a photographer and sculptor will be remembered for years to come.
