Introducing the New Girl

In 1958, Hollywood welcomed Italian actress Sophia Loren into their move business nest with a big shabang party at Romanoff's. Jayne, who loved making publicity for herself, went to the party (I believe she was uninvitied) and introduced herself as well as gently flashing her boobs, having all the attention focused on her rather than the new girl. It pretty much worked!

The famous photo below:

That Famous Glance

One of the most famous pictures coming from Hollywood. An unforgetable image. Also the night that I'm sure Sophia Loren would much rather forget. But hey, her career held on tight and she's still very much active so maybe it turned out to be a good thing?

“That picture has haunted me my whole life. I love it and I hate it. I hated it when I was little, but now I see it differently because my mother was such a celebrator in life, and she transcended fear and judgement. That's something to aspire to. So I love it now. It's so human. You can make a movie off that picture. There's a part of me that looks at it like "Wow! That's awesome! That's so great!" But there's another part of me that's like, "That's my mom".” –Mariska Hargitay

“I think the photo speaks for itself” –Mariska Hargitay

Round Two

Sophia Loren and Mariska at a Fashion Show in Paris in 2007. They also attended the 2010 Screen Actor's Guild Awards (but at this time I have not seen a picture of them together at the event).
