(CNN) — Italian cinema icon Gina Lollobrigida will run for the Senate in her country's elections next month, weeks after celebrating her 95th birthday.

The elections were triggered after Italy's President Sergio Mattarella dissolved Parliament in July following the resignation of the country's Prime Minister Mario Draghi.

Lollobrigida, who joined the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2018, is standing as the candidate for the Sovereign and Popular Italy Party in the city of Latina.

"I was just tired of hearing politicians arguing with each other without ever getting to the point," the film star told Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera in an interview on Sunday.

She's real?

I thought "Gina Lollobrigida" was a humorous name contrived by comedians, often repeated in Cartoons and sitcoms.

Next, someone will tell me that Albequerque, Peoria, and Walla Walla are real places.

Not to mention Cucamonga!
