Title: Sophia Loren or Marilyn Monroe?
Post by: DCPatriot 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.

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

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.

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.

Many may not like my response. I was told all the time I looked like M.M. by many men. Not in the face. My body.  There is a nude picture of her, arm up, reposed, arched back.....looks like my body.  These men did NOT see me nude.  They could tell, even with clothes on! So, I would have to say M.M.  Even my personality, although, you can't tell with my posts!
I was very shy, quiet.  At a party, I could find a spot, sit down, away from all the hoopla...and little by little, I would be surrounded by men.  Another man, pointed that out to me. Wherever I was,  soon, I was surrounded by men.   YOUNG...was fun.  Yes, I was a ....DD. All natural.

AllThatJazzZ, no idea who the actress is, but she is somewhat familiar.

Now to the discussion of Marilyn versus Sophia, no contest.  Sophia was a goddess, and Marilyn had her moments, but she was never in Sophia's league.

And Natalie Woods, Jayne Mansfield, and Jazz's mystery woman, minor league stuff.  Really.  The one thing Woods, Monroe, Mansfield all had in common, they got themselves dead at a young age.  Wreckless, not possessing the grace to appreciate what God gave them, and all dead. 

Ann Margaret was a true beauty too.  But again, not in Sophia's class of woman.

Another thing that turns me on immensely is a woman with a sexy accent. Sophia was superior in that regard too.

I was going on sixteen, when the bulletin came over the car radio.  It was a weekend morning, but don't recall if it was Saturday or Sunday.

We were headed to my aunt and uncle's farm in Albion, New York.

Found nude on her bed.

@libertybele

It's dangrous for heterosexual men over 60 to look into those eyes. Especially if she is slightly smiling.

Sophia. It will ALWAYS be Sophia.

Apparently no one recognizes Senta Berger. As I said, she didn't grace the silver screen (in English-speaking movies) as often as the others, but she did have a sexy accent. At least my husband thought so. I must admit ... the man had great taste in women. After all, he picked me.  :whistle:

@AllThatJazzZ

She was in a Clint Eastwood horse opera. Smoking hot,and the accent didn't hurt,either. "2 Mules for Sister Sarah"???

I agree that she is a close runner up to Sophia,but even she isn't Sophia.

Someone posted a phot earlier of Sophi's face looking into a camera. Just her face. She isn't even smiling,but the look in those eyes and those lips are enough to take your breath away even if you have never see her body. She could look at me in real life and smile,and I would faint dead away. THAT is what makes Sophia a Super Power,and she was born with it.

Apparently no one ever saw Matt Helm The Ambushers. The Matt Helm movies were a farce with Dean Martin phoning in his role but they did have a lot of hot women in the movies. Senta Berger, Elke Sommer, Sharon Tate, Nancy Kwan, Ann Margaret, Stella Stevens, Daliah Lavi. Funny thinking about the movies reminded me of Cyd Charisse, now there's a woman that oozed sex appeal.

Ahh..perhaps it's just me. 

With the WOKE movement  and all, and the racial White guilt, that photo screams it.  Back in 1957 that black woman couldn't eat at the same counter or use the same bathroom.

Beauty and brains in spades!

Hedy Lamarr was an Austrian-American actress and inventor who pioneered the technology that would one day form the basis for today's WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth communication systems.

In 1942, during the heyday of her career, Lamarr earned recognition in a field quite different from entertainment. She and her friend, the composer George Antheil, received a patent for an idea of a radio signaling device, or "Secret Communications System," which was a means of changing radio frequencies to keep enemies from decoding messages. Originally designed to defeat the German Nazis, the system became an important step in the development of technology to maintain the security of both military communications and cellular phones.

Sophia Loren

@DCPatriot

Sophia. It is ALWAYS going to be Sophia. She is impossibly perfect in every respect. Even if you are a blind man that voice alone will make you dizzy from the sudden loss of oxygen to the brain,and if you can look into those eyes,you are lost.

There MIGHT be something she couldn't talk me into doing,even at my advanced age,but I have no idea what it would be. All she would have to do is say my name,and follow it with whatever it was she wanted,and if I didn't faint dead away,I would stand there bobbing my head like a bobblehead doll,with drool running down my chin,whining,and stamping my foot.

All this,and MY personal kink is for green-eyed redheads. Those eyes,those lips,that voice, are super powers of their own.

Oh,and in case you are blind or have never seen a photo of her,her body ain't too shabby,either.

We're the same generation, @sneakypete   So it's not surprising we agree that there's Sophia Loren...and then there's everybody else.

It's interesting to see Gina Lollobrigida, Raquel Welch and to a lesser degree, Elizabeth Taylor included in our 'survey'/opinion here.

No doubt, Marilyn Monroe is the ICON because she's 'immortal'.  Unfortunately, we got to see Elizabeth Taylor age.  If she died tragically at 36, we'd be talking about her.

Joan Blondell certainly made a lot of risque movies in her early career, but then that was pre Hayes Code? And yes she was a lovely woman.

Do you think there has EVER been a time in her life when she smiled at a man and asked him for a favor in that voice with that accent,and was refused?

I'm guessing more than a few homosexual men would be unable to resist her.

I would probably just faint dead away if she looked a me,smiled,and said "Hello".

It is really cruel to other women to compare them to Sophia. There are smoking hot,beautiful women,and then there is Sophia.

I can't speak for anyone else,but when Sophia passes,her place will be taken by Adele. Red hair,busty,beautiful face,GREAT sense of humor,incredible musical composer,and THAT freaking voice! There is just nobody else that has all that.

If she played her cards right,she could have her way with me.

@corbe

Everyone appreciates a raised platform. Especially one so shapely and firm.

I agree with you on this one,though. Being a butt pirate has never had any appeal to me,and the only time I ever did it was when a woman asked me to. I guess she could tell I wasn't into it,because she asked me if I was enjoying it while we were doing it,and when I told her "No",she asked me to stop and told me she just offered in case it would please me. I told her to not bother asking in the future,and we were both happier.

I have nothing against that if both the man and the woman are enjoying it,but it had just never had any appeal at all to me. I have always liked the view from the front MUCH better.

@corbe

No. Her clothes (panties?) seem to be pretty tight,and I have no doubt she is laying on a ground cloth or something similar.

She must be an adventurous woman. Not many would be willing to fire a 50 cal from the prone position. There must be a really good muzzle brake on it.

I am hoping she also had some good ear plugs. I,and no one else of my era ever wore ear plugs when shooting in the army,unless it was at a range,and I only remember going to a range once in the 6 years I was in SF,and still don't understand how or why that happened. It ain't like any of us on one working special operations went more than a year without shooting in a "really competitive" atmosphere.

We usually "qualified" at the Sport Parachute Club bar on Bragg. Or at least that is where we filled out the forms on each other.

The Army is so PC these days,I wonder if clubs like the Sport Parachute Club are even still open. SF NCO's didn't give a squat about drinking with non-NCO's,and SF officers didn't worry about drinking with NCO's at places like the Sport Parachute Club. If you were a jumper,you were welcome,although I have heard it said that some NCO's in the 82nd frowned on their younger troopers associating with SF soldiers.

There was also a lot of fraternizing at the E-4/E-9 Club on Yadkin Road,just off-base. Good place to get your head dinged on a Sattidy night. Or at least that is what I was told. The closest I ever got to going in there was the parking lot,where there must have been  20-30 GI's fighting each other when I pulled in to park. Looked for a few minutes,and just drove away. Never even turned the switch off.  I was looking to maybe hook up with a woman,not get into a fight with a drunken soldier.
