She burst to fame in Italy with the leading roles in two Italian comedies by Luigi Comencini – “Bread, Love and Dreams,” and “Bread, Love and Jealousy.”A role opposite Humphrey Bogart in John Huston’s 1954 film “Beat the Devil,” sealed her worldwide fame and in 1955 she made what became one of her signature films, “The World’s Most Beautiful Woman.

They separated after nearly 17 years, and Lollobrigida said later she had no intention of remarrying. “Marriages are boring and almost always like funerals, and couples so often restrict each other too much,” she said.However in 2006, when she was 79, she announced her intention to marry Javier Rigau, a Spaniard 34 years her junior with whom she had a confidential close friendship for years.
“Children with their big wide-open eyes question us. Their looks should help us to forsake selfishness that undoubtedly leaves our hearts quite bare,” she wrote in its introduction.
