Loren first starring role was in 1953 in the film Aida. She also starred opposite with Frank Sinatra and Cary Grant in The Pride and The Passion. In 1958, she signed up a contract with Paramount Pictures that made her an international film star. Among her films under Paramount Pictures includes Desires Under the Elms that co-starred Anthony Perkins.

When she became a mother, she worked less in such a way that she only made little appearances in few films and musicals. However, though she seldom made films in 1970’s yet she co-starred other veteran stars like Martin Sheen and Richard Harris. During the 1980’s she preferred to act infrequently so as to devote more time in raising her sons.

Lately, she received Academy Honorary Award from the Golden Globe as well as from Oscar. In 1994, she was nominated in Golden Globe for the film Ready to Wear that co-stars Julia Roberts. There are other films she starred that earned her nominations in the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Recently, Sophia Loren is working in Italy in a biopic television series that portrays her early life.
