Sophia Loren Reveals Truth About Famous Photo<\/font><\/p>\n

\"JayneMansfield\"<\/a>
In a recent interview, actress Sophia Loren, 80, finally revealed the true story behind an iconic photo of her and Jane Mansfield taken nearly sixty years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuardate la foto. Dove sono i miei occhi? Guardo i suoi capezzoli perch\u00e9 ho paura che stiano per cadere nel mio piatto. Potete vedere la paura sul mio volto. Sono cos\u00ec spaventata che ogni cosa nel suo vestito stia per esplodere – boom! – e si rovesci tutto sul tavolo\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLook at the picture. Where are my eyes? I\u2019m staring at her nipples because I am afraid they are about to come onto my plate. In my face you can see the fear. I\u2019m so frightened that everything in her dress is going to blow \u2013 boom! \u2013 and spill all over the table\u201d<\/p>\n

It was the evening of Loren\u2019s Hollywood debut: \u201cLa Paramount aveva organizzato una festa per me – racconta l\u2019attrice italiana – c\u2019era tutto il mondo del cinema, era incredibile. E poi ecco Jayne Mansfield, l\u2019ultima ad arrivare. E per me \u00e8 stato il momento in cui tutto \u00e8 diventato incredibile\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cParamount had organized a party for me \u2013 recalls the Italian actress – everyone from the world of cinema was there, it was incredible. And then Jane Mansfield appeared, the last one to arrive. And for me that was the moment when everything became incredible\u201d <\/p>\n

In Lissone, near Milan, a 34 year old left his house to go work, but his car, a FIAT 500, wouldn\u2019t start. Neighbours witnessed the furious man going back into his house and reappearing moments later with a pickaxe. According to witnesses, the man begun to systematically destroy his car. The Carabinieri were called and, seeing that the man was completely out of control, accompanied him to hospital. <\/p>\n

In Garbatella, Rome, the faded pedestrian crossings needed to be repainted during the night, despite the fact that some of them were occupied by parked cars. The solution \u2026 made to measure stripes. The workers simply painted around the parked vehicles!<\/p>\n

Alternately, here\u2019s another solution that I recently found on the net:
\"Strisce\"<\/a>
The note reads: \u2018For the Traffic Police. This car isn\u2019t on the stripes, but the stripes are on the car\u2019.<\/strong> S\u00ec, siamo in Italia!<\/strong> \"Winking<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
