Sophia has always been physically beautiful and you can also see her beauty within.I love being 61 and prefer it to my younger self-I quite like seeing my aged face in the mirror-it reminds me I have survived-but I do miss my disco days x
My Father's dream woman. He once went to Monte Carlo just to see her walk by for a film festival.
Don't worry my love, I left my first husband because he wanted to be "free and discover himself". We've been divorced for 32 years. Every year for the last 31, he's told me he misses me and regrets what he lost.
John , you are so lovely, you'll meet someone who appreciates YOU soon...............ideally AFTER you have sold the archives of Going Gently to a publisher and then you can be rich and picky and will eventually settle down with a nice cuddly bloke who adores bulldogs x
Old. I keep getting told I was born old, not even 40 and it's still a regular 'insult.' Better 'old' and leading an authentic life than a prissied up, vapid existence. John, you are one of the few people I actually regularly read (apart from Sue from a smaller and simple life, and Collette from Bealtaine Cottage). I love your adventures and insights and quips. I've been lurking for years now and reading your blog brings me joy. I love the aging process, and if I can be a jot on the gorgeous Sophia Loren, I think I will die a very happy woman.
She is beautiful at any age, after all true beauty comes from within.
If you were divorced for being old then count yourself lucky because anyone that would do that is certainly not worth spending a lifetime with! In fact that is how I got over my divorce many years ago. I realized that I and my children deserved better than what he was to us.
Even better, she's 86 now since her birthday was September 20th. She's one of the few "Golden Age of Hollywood" actresses left and she's not afraid to take on roles that show her with all her well earned wrinkles, etc. So many younger women go the plastic surgery route but fail to achieve anything like Sophia's beauty. They think they look younger, but they just look...different. And often not in a good way.
Old, old?. Oh well if you want to go from Fogey to Recycled Teenager then best join in. I can see it now, Joz on his skateboard wizzing round 'edgy' Margate, silly hat back to front, tight jeans two sizes too small, tagging 'Joz woz ere'on walls in an artistic urban fashion, complete with Wizz, Maz, Doti on the leads and Bertz in yer backpack. Fierce man! ffs!!! Tess xx
She is certainly beautiful. Not all natural though as she's admitted to having "help" and its a shame that all the celebs are afraid of ageing naturally without the facelifts, botox, lip and cheek fillers and neck lifts. Still beautiful though and why not wear the false eyelashes at that age! Good on her.
Sofia has always been a class act, as well as a beauty. I know someone who did a beautiful drawing of her a couple of years ago and sent it to her, asking if she might sign and return it, as he had always been a fan. He was thrilled when she actually did. How many of today's vapid, bland 'celebs' would take the time to do that?
That was lovely that she returned the drawing. Perhaps the older celebs are kinder and not so bland. In London some years ago I found a document that belonged to the actor Sam Neill. It appeared to be an important document so I managed to contact his agent and offered to return it. After it's return I was contacted by Mr. Neill himself, it was an important document and he offered to take me out to dinner by way of thanks. I almost didn't accept but then did go and I found him to be utterly charming and kind. We still exchange news every so often and although I'd watched very little of his work previously if something now pops up on the television with him in it I'm able to think Ah my friend Sam!
I’m recommending Dr Godday to everyone who have herpes virus to get the cure from him. I was diagnose of genital herpes in 2015 and i have been searching and asking questions to see if i could get something to cure the disease because i did not believe what the doctors say that no cure is found yet. I came across a comment on Youtube and the person testify how she was cured from herpes and hpv after using Dr Godday herbal medicine. I quickly contact Dr email and explain my problem to him and he prepare the herbs and send it to me through courier and gave me instructions on how to use it and tell me to go for checkup after usage which i did after two weeks of taken the herbal medicine and my result was NEGATIVE. I waited another month and retested the result was still NEGATIVE and my doctor told me that am completely free from herpes. Am so happy and grateful to Dr Godday for what he has done for me and i will continue to share this for people out there to know that there is cure for herpes. You can contact Dr Godday on email and WhatsApp to get the cure from him. Email:goddayspiritualhome@gmail.com Or Call/What’s-app +1{919}4956404
Age is only a number. I don't like what present day cultures have done to it......making it something to fear. We all die and our bodies will reflect what and how we live our lives. Sophia looks as she ought to look at this age......beautiful and reflective of a life well lived.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh, never mind You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth Until they've faded, but trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back At photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now TIM
How much more beautiful is that photo than one that has been retouched or one of a face pumped full of fillers. She is beautiful from the inside out and that never fades with age. She radiates a life lived with love and hope.

She is amazing in her beauty.
ReplyDeleteThere are lessons to be learned here yael xx
DeleteShe is very beautiful and her age is immaterial.
ReplyDeleteExactly
DeleteI have always thought her one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteSophia has always been physically beautiful and you can also see her beauty within.I love being 61 and prefer it to my younger self-I quite like seeing my aged face in the mirror-it reminds me I have survived-but I do miss my disco days x

You are so capable of finding better.
I wish I would look so good at 60. Sigh. She's gorgeous. Thanks for sharing. Something to shoot for.
ReplyDeleteLol I thought uwould love it
DeleteWhat a beautiful woman and age hasn't diminished her beauty. I love that she has a few wrinkles where smiles have been.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
John , you are so lovely, you'll meet someone who appreciates YOU soon...............ideally AFTER you have sold the archives of Going Gently to a publisher and then you can be rich and picky and will eventually settle down with a nice cuddly bloke who adores bulldogs x
ReplyDeletePicky. Snorting like warthog here.
DeleteSome people will have quite a shock to realise that they, too, will grow old - that is, if they are lucky enough to do so!
ReplyDeleteCalling you old is a form of jealousy. You are one of those who will never be old whatever that means. Just warm, funny and delightful in every way.
ReplyDeleteI was a early teen when I saw 'Boy on a Dolphin'....made quite an impression.
ReplyDeleteSame here. I can't remember the story, but I can remember Sophia in it.
DeleteOld. I keep getting told I was born old, not even 40 and it's still a regular 'insult.' Better 'old' and leading an authentic life than a prissied up, vapid existence.

Age was a factor.
DeleteI'm shocked! Stupid, stupid man who for all his qualifications couldn't assess or appreciate what he had in you. Bah!
DeleteLost for words at this one John!
ReplyDeleteHave to agree with Bonnie
I'm a big fan of Sophia. (And of you, too, Gentle John.) I'm looking forward to seeing her new film.
ReplyDeleteIconic SL, beautiful as always. Old? What was he talking about? Some people are so shallow. Much better without such an individual.
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring to see for us older women. But her upper lip looks suspiciously botoxed LOL
ReplyDeleteYou ae not old nor is Sophia. I'm getting there.
ReplyDeleteGood bones. Beautiful soul.
ReplyDeleteEven better, she's 86 now since her birthday was September 20th. She's one of the few "Golden Age of Hollywood" actresses left and she's not afraid to take on roles that show her with all her well earned wrinkles, etc. So many younger women go the plastic surgery route but fail to achieve anything like Sophia's beauty. They think they look younger, but they just look...different. And often not in a good way.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that life has taught me is that you never know what lies around the corner. As the saying goes, dwell in possibility.
ReplyDeleteWhat pleasure she's given us over the years. Viva Sophia.

Fierce man! ffs!!!
Tess xx
When I was just 17 a fella called me staid.
ReplyDeleteI've never forgotten it but these days I regard it as a compliment
Old ? You ? Keep squeaking the rubber chicken John ! Old ?!!!
ReplyDeleteShe is certainly beautiful. Not all natural though as she's admitted to having "help" and its a shame that all the celebs are afraid of ageing naturally without the facelifts, botox, lip and cheek fillers and neck lifts.
ReplyDeleteStill beautiful though and why not wear the false eyelashes at that age! Good on her.
Thank you for also pointing out that Sophia is not 100% natural.
DeleteAnd she is still just as beautiful.

she is an absolute beauty
ReplyDeleteSophia still looks fantastic, doesn't she? Julie Christie is the same -- she looks great at any age.
ReplyDeleteWow! just Wow!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh, never mind
ReplyDeleteYou will not understand the power and beauty of your youth
Until they've faded, but trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back
At photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now

Saw a new movie with her. The Life Ahead. It is a wonderful movie. I think it was netflix or HBO. You must check it out.
ReplyDeleteHow much more beautiful is that photo than one that has been retouched or one of a face pumped full of fillers. She is beautiful from the inside out and that never fades with age. She radiates a life lived with love and hope.
