Sophia Loren or Marilyn Monroe?
« on: August 01, 2021, 02:33:39 pm »


At 75  years old, these two women hold a special place in what is today...my cold, dead heart. 

For reasons I cannot properly articulate even, Sophia Loren had a completely different effect on me than Norma Jean.

One had me relaxed, peaceful...while the other one had every nerve on high alert.   LOL!

Happened to "like" a photo or two on my newsfeed, and now inundated with invites to join groups, etc..

If you could only choose one, which would it be?

Sophia.

The answer will ALWAYS be Sophia. She is a superpower.

Ann Margret?

@Ann Margaret was smoking hot,but she wasn't Sophia.

If I were to meet Sophia in person and she just said my name,I would probably faint dead away from sudden blood loss.

And keep in mind that the man writing this has a kinky spot in his heart for redheads about the size of the universe.

BTW,I once was watching a tv show where the host was interviewing Tom Selleck,and asked him who he thought to be the sexist woman in the world. Without any hesitation at all,he said "Sophia Loren". He even went further by saying he lives near her in Beverly Hills,and drives past her house almost every day,and has told his wife that if he is driving past one day and Sophia Loren has a flat tire in front of her gate and he stops to fix her flat and she then invites him into the house for tea,"You are just going to have to give me that one because I am only human."

And you can believe that Tom Selleck has has some pretty nice offers in his life,yet Sophia Loren is the one he dreams about.

@I saw her up close when she came to the Dominican Republic during the uprising there with a USO show. Was right up at the front of the stage while she was dancing. Even got REALLY close to her dressing room before the GD MP's stopped me.

Didn't get into any trouble because I had stolen a USAF fatigue shirt off a clothes line so I could eat in the AF mess halls,and was wearing that. Told them I had lost my ID,so the MP's guarding her turned me over to the USAF AP's,and they didn't give a squat. In fact,they thought it was funny. So they just turned me loose. Didn't even take back the fatigue shirt.

Yes,I was an adventurous 18 year old.

Sophia. Not even close.

When she was young and in her prime, Sophia Lauren was hotter than the hinges on the gates of Hell.

Very strange...the difference in the many photos of Marilyn Monroe.

Here she appear like a DD.  I many iconic pics she sure as hell is not!






Was talking about her bridge work...not her cleavage.   :bolt:

I agree with many of you.  There is Sophia Loren and then there was everybody else.

From a female perspective and growing up watching them I always thought Sophia Loren was absolutely gorgeous.  Marilyn...meh...too much hype and as a young lady watching her I thought she was a bit trashy.

As a female adult I have the same opinion.  My vote is for Sophia Loren.

@andy58-in-nh

Besides that smoking hot body,and even more important,was those eyes and that voice. I could look into those eyes while she was readying a grocery list and nearbout faint dead away from loss of blood to the brain.

@DCPatriot

The blonde in that photo isn't Marilyn. It's another blonde bombshell from that time whose name I can't remember at the moment,but I do remember she died in an auto accident when her husband ran his Caddy convertible up under the rear of the trailer of an 18 wheeler,cutting her head off. There are photos of this accident all over the web if you can remember her name and care to look.

You're thinking of Jayne Mansfield and her husband Mickey Hargitay.

But that photo is definitely Marilyn Monroe.

Trivia note..the lead female actress on Law and Order SVU is their daughter and had a facial scar from the accident.

That is all...I don't have an opinion on who was more beautiful. Different types of beauty imho...but since I'm a female what do I know?

I do find the answers interesting. Sort of like a Marianne/Ginger thread.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
