    At age 94.
    A great and innovative filmmaker and, more importantly, the man who discovered and gave us (and took for his own) one of the world's most beautiful women Sophia Loren.

    As renowned for controversy as he and his wife were for their films.

    RIP.

    "Slept with Sophia Loren" is surely one of the best lines anyone's obit could contain. RIP to one of the leaders of post-war European cinema.

    Kind of like DiMaggio nailing Marilyn Monroe. What, being one of the greatest players ever wasn't enough?

    I don't get the Sophia Loren hype at all.

    Then you obviously didn't see her in her 1960's movies.
