Acclaimed actor Sophia Loren was hospitalised recently after sustaining an injury in a fall at her home, with her said to have since had ’emergency surgery’
Oscar-winning actress Sophia Loren has said she is better following her fall, and will “take some time off” for rehabilitation therapy.
The Italian-born star of the Golden Age of Hollywood, 89, had emergency surgery and sustained several “serious fractures” to different parts of her hip, including her femur, according to her agent.
She fell in her bathroom at her Swiss home, Andrea Giusti told the PA news agency on Monday, as she confirmed Loren’s sons, Carlo and Edoardo Ponti, were at her bedside.
On Tuesday, a statement issued on behalf of Loren by her representative said: “I thank everyone for the closeness and affection that they have been showing me. I’m better, I just need to do rehabilitation and to take some time off.”
