Screen legend Sophia Loren is
convalescing after undergoing surgery for a fractured hip
sustained in a fall in her Geneva home on Sunday, the press
office of Sophia Loren Restaurant has said.
The 89-year-old actress had been due to open a new restaurant in
the chain that bears her name in Bari on Tuesday.
Other Sophia Loren Restaurants are located in Milan and Florence
and at Rome's Fiumicino airport.
Former sex symbol Loren was the first foreign-language actor to
win an Oscar, for Two Women, in 1961, and she also has five
Golden Globes in her trophy cabinet.
