Legendary Italian Actor Suffers Fractures in Switzerland
Los Angeles: Legendary Italian actor Sophia Loren, who recently celebrated her 89th birthday on September 20, underwent emergency surgery following a fall at her home in Switzerland.

Successful Operation and Cautious Hope
A source close to Loren reported to The Hollywood Reporter that the surgery was successful, bringing a glimmer of “cautious optimism” regarding her recovery. However, it’s anticipated to be a lengthy road to rehabilitation. Throughout this challenging time, the actor’s sons, Carlo and Edoardo, are by her side at the hospital, providing support.
Unforeseen Cancellations
