SOPHIA LOREN AND CARLO PONTI SR. – 46 YEARS

Sophia Loren is the epitome of beauty and grace in the film industry. She is one of the stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood and is known for her brilliant performances in the film Two Women. The veteran actress has earned multiple awards such as a Grammy and five Golden Globes. Not only that, but she also won the award of love at age 16 when she met Carlo Ponti Sr. Carlo is an Italian filmmaker with more than 140 films.

The couple was enamored of each other that they decided to get married in 1957 by proxy (two lawyers stood for them) since Ponti was not officially divorced from his first wife. The marriage was annulled in 1962 to avoid bigamy charges, but they continued to live together. It was in 1966 when Loren and Ponti remarried after the divorce was finalized. The couple remained married until Carlo died in 2007.
