Sophia Loren Hospitalized With Hip, Femur Fractures After Serious Fall

[amb123]

Sophia Loren was hospitalized after sustaining serious injuries in a fall at her home in Geneva over the weekend, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Loren slipped in the bathroom, fracturing her femur and hips in several places so severely that she required emergency surgery.

Sources close to the Italian acting legend, who turned 89 earlier this month, told THR they were hopeful about the surgery and said Loren’s recovery will include a “short convalescence and then a long rehabilitation.”

Praying for her.

1. Poor thing....hope for the best, but she lived the life many would die for.

2. Lived the life -- mostly. But wasn't she a war orphan ?

3. Most probably. Don't really know her life during WW2.

She was born in 34, so....yeah, she lived through that horror show.

5. Her early life was definitely in poverty in a small village.

18. She had a very rough life after the war. I read her book, she scrounged and literally

begged for food for herself and her sister (I believe it was).,

10. She suffered hardships.

Even after she became famous her life was far from perfect.

4. I hope she makes a complete recovery.

7. Me too, but, given her age and the multiple fractures....

I'm not seeing it.

[LoisB]

11. You are probably right but I'm hoping anyway.

6. Hope they are diligent about infection

That gets a lot of people in these situations

Also hope everyone attending to her is masked and vaccinated for flu and covid.

Best of luck to her. I fear the odds are not in her favor at her age to recover.

I lost two loved ones under very similar circumstances so it hurts to see...

13. What does Sophia want?

89 and muliple fratcures.....quality of life going forwaed? Bet she'd like a quiet comfotable exit from this life.

15. I would never want to hazard a guess as to what someone else might want in that situation.

If it's someone I know extremely well and who has made their wishes clearly known to me, that's one thing. But none of us here knows anything about what Loren's wishes would be.

People differ greatly in what they feel is an acceptable quality of life and under what circumstances they would not wish to go on, and many factors are involved. I hope Ms. Loren has the outcome she prefers, whatever that is.

8. that is sad news--hopefully a good recovery for her

but these things at her age don't always go so well.

9. My Mother saw her up close once. Said she was gorgeous.

12. There's a famous quote by her from decades ago ...

I have to paraphrase; it's been a while.

"Sexuality is not what you have. It's what they think you have."

I can't be sure, but I think this means, if you act sexy, they will be intrigued.

For 89, I think she's still got it!

14. I played a concert outside of LA that her son conducted.

She and Carlo Ponti came to the concert -- clearly she was there because she loved her son and wanted to support him. But once she/they arrived, as far as the audience was concerned the concert was about seeing her, not listening to the concert. I felt for my (for the moment) colleague, her son. It was sad.

19. Falls are the bane of the elderly. Ivanka Trump is another example.

20. Wow that's quite a fall in her bathroom!

She was set to appear at the opening her new restaurant Tomorrow!

21. Very serious... She's always been a big walker so hopefully she's not suffering severe osteoporosis

as well--but given the severity of the injuries, it is likely that she is. Best wishes Sophia.
