The actress Sophia Loren was involved in a terrible fall. The actress, who was 89 years old at the time, suffered a hip fracture after falling at her home in Geneva, Switzerland, on Sunday. She had surgery immediately after the accident.
The announcement was made public for the first time on the Instagram page associated with Sophia Loren Restaurant. According to The Hollywood Reporter, she was planning to launch the diner, which would be her fourth, on September 26.
After that, a representative for Loren verified the accident to People and said that the actress sustained many fractures, including to her hip and femur. The representative also said that they had a positive outlook on Loren’s health and rehabilitation.
“The surgery went very well, we just have to wait,” Andrea Giusti, Loren’s agent, said in a statement to CNN.
It was also stated by THR that the fall occurred in Loren’s restroom, and they said that the damage to her femur was the one that needed surgery. It was stated that all of Loren’s obligations for the foreseeable future have been canceled, and sources informed the publication that there is cautious hope regarding the result of the procedure and the actress’ recuperation.
According to reports from THR, Loren’s adult sons, Carlo Ponti and Edoardo Ponti, who are now visiting their mother in the hospital, are helping to accelerate her rehabilitation.
The last time Loren was seen in public and captured on camera was on September 2, when she accompanied her son Edoardo and his wife Sasha Alexander to an event hosted by Armani called “One Night Only.”
Her appearances in films such as Two Women, Houseboat, It Started in Naples, and The Pride and the Passion brought her international acclaim and earned her an Academy Award. She is widely regarded as one of the most famous actors in the history of classic Hollywood filmmaking.
