Legendary movie star Sophia Loren is recovering from surgery after she suffered a leg fracture due to a fall in her Switzerland home, an agent for the actress said.
“(Surgery) went very well and now we only need to wait,” Giusti said, adding that Loren broke both her hip and her thigh bone in the mishap.
Loren appeared at a fashion show in Venice earlier this month alongside famous Italian designer Giorgio Armani at the city’s film festival.
Per The Associated Press: “She celebrated her 89th birthday last week. She was scheduled to appear at a restaurant that bears her name in Bari, a city in southern Italy, but her fall forced a cancellation of the event. According to her agent, Loren gave the restaurant the right to use her name and image.”
Loren first appeared in a movie in 1951, at just 16 years old, when she gained a role as an uncredited extra in Quo Vadis.
She most recently appeared in the short documentary What Would Sophia Loren Do? as herself in 2021.
