La Lollo (95) embraced and resisted her reputation as a sex bomb

When her name comes up, it doesn’t immediately rain movie titles, rather slogans like ‘the ultimate sex symbol’ and ‘the European Marilyn Monroe’. Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida was a legend anyway, someone who reinvented herself again and again and even last year aspired to a political career. She passed away at the age of 95.
