The Effervescent Sophia Loren
Sophia Loren made her film debut in 1951, when she was only 17 years old, in Quo Vadis. She has since appeared in a number of films. She was once asked if there was anything she would change if she had the chance. She simply stated, “In a long, long career like I had—and by the way, I have—it’s very difficult to be able to criticize some of the moments that you do by yourself that you never tell to other people. It’s a very normal thing to do because you cannot every time have a big victory – no, there have been moments, maybe weak moments, where you did something that you are not really very happy about.”

A Soldier Heading Home After The War
Throughout his four-decade photography career, Ernst Haas straddled the line between photojournalist and artist. His photographs of soldiers returning home after WWII were filled with artistry. In a photo essay titled “Homecoming,” he captured the desperation and confusion that gripped Europe at the time, as people looked for relatives among the survivors. It was a successful collection that helped him reach even greater heights. He turned down every single one of them! He said, “What I want is to stay free so that I can carry out my ideas… I don’t think there are many editors who could give me the assignments I give myself.”
